bisecting gives this:

20250104
        + modify tput to warn about capabilities which expect parameters where
          none are given; also repair the feature where multiple capabilities
          can be handled on a single line.
 
(last night I was looking at the code in tput.c which implements multiple
capabilities without noticing the tie-in to missing capabilities)
