>Description:
	Compiling libcurses with -D_CURSES_USE_MACROS fails:

/net/quasar/src-5/NetBSD/src/distrib/utils/libhack/../../../lib/libcurses/curses.h:520:25: error: expected ')' before '==' token
  520 |         (wmove(w, y, x) == ERR ? ERR : winchnstr(w, c, n))
	|                         ^~



>How-To-Repeat:
	Add -D_CURSES_USE_MACROS
>Fix:
	Make it build or or remove the macro, and the code it enables.
