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.
