Well, a simple documentation issue has grown into large and complex changes that fix several bugs. * Incorrect parameter name in color_pair(). * Incorrectly documented ranges for color and pair numbers. * Based on incorrect documentation, incorrect checks was implemented in the code. * It was not caught earlier because most tests were skipped on buildbots. * BTW ncurses accepts some values outside of the documented ranges. * But ncurses 6.1 does not accept all values in the documented ranges. * There were other minor bugs introduced in issue36982.
