Looking at https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/terminfo.src.html, I
think
more terminals could list support for Smol and Rmol to toggle overline
mode.
I have tested locally that the following terminals support overline
and are
not listed as such:
Windows Terminal (ms-terminal)
Konsole (konsole)
iTerm2 (iterm2)
They all use the same \E[53m and \E[55m that Contour and WezTerm use.
Can the database be updated?
I suppose so, keeping in mind that this is something that should be
requested
by the developers who actually use the feature (tmux or mintty).
In parallel, I'm adding overline support to Emacs, see
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=80208. I came here seeing
if we can rely on the terminfo database to advertise this support
outside of the mess that is terminals falsely saying they're
xterm-256color.
