My initial mail contained only the patch, in the correct format.
I then send a description, scrambling the patch... Seems like I am
unable to get both right ;-).

Would it be okay to change only the docs ? There is no reason to make
TERMINFO_DIRS a tied variable.
It's a basic raw variable passed to ncurses, not a widely used variable
like $path.
I just copied the description of some array variable, trying to be smart...
I will submit the same patch with a better doc.
