Yes, it definitely should. For one thing, the SysVr3 curses library
already has code to use these ioctls and their structures when
available; by using them, you save yourself the pain of merging the
standard curses with something else. For another, I should assume that
you will support terminals; someone might wish to use a layers terminal
with your machine - and if the ioctls are OK, will be able to just
install the layers multiplexed line discipline and run.
