I think it's better to keep the names compatible with curses:

$ man mvwinch

curs_inch(3X)                                                    curs_inch(3X)

NAME
       inch,  winch,  mvinch,  mvwinch - get a character and attributes from a
       curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       chtype inch(void);
       chtype winch(WINDOW *win);
       chtype mvinch(int y, int x);
       chtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);

[etc]

Rich.
