I haven't really thought about it much - hadn't seen any cases where someone
would have a large number of items on a menu. Generally the topic's come
up a couple of times. I modified curses.h a few years ago to make the
dimensions defined as NCURSES_SIZE_T, but don't recall that anyone followed
up on this, e.g., with a request to make it configurable.
