Termcap doesn't have a "concept" of anything, so you can always add your
own private sequences. For status lines on televideos (for example), just
use (assuming you use ZS for start, ZE for end, and ZL for length):
:ZS=\Ef:ZE=\r:ZL=78:
Or, if you like keeping the cursor position and screen mode:
:ZS=\E_00:ZE=\r:ZL=6:
Useful enough with shell scripts. Too bad terminfo isn't extensible.
