thanks (I'll decipher that, to satisfy my curiosity).

Generally speaking, reset uses the rs2 string that's defined in the terminfo.
A few times (mouse for instance), someone points out for ncurses that it
would be nice to add features to those.  I'll make a note to investigate
the cursor setting in the terminfo descriptions.

vim has built-in tables which it may use instead of the terminfo description.
