* Check for 'sgi' preprocessor symbol, not '__sgi__'
* Surround individual character macros with #ifdef's, instead of making them
  all rely on STRICT_SYSV_CURSES

and -lcma?  Maybe libcma is broken."

When a method is called with no regular arguments and * args, defer
the first arg is subclass check until after the * args have been
expanded.

N.B. The CALL_FUNCTION implementation is getting really hairy; should
review it to see if it can be simplified.

                  scope to be " (in module <name>)" instead of
                  " (in <name>)" to be consistent with \withsubitem
                  usage throughout the documentation.  This achieves
                  consistency in indexing throughout the documentation.

the content body is the \ttindex macro, which seems to match actual usage.

Adjust \funcline to restore the "index sub-item" for functions to be
" (in module <name>)" instead of " (in <name>)".  This is need to match
uses of \withsubitem throughout the documentation.  (Not ideal, but
gets achieves consistency.)

index that had to be specifically read to determine that they had the
wrong parenthesized description.
