Leaving them out was intentional but I don't especially object if you
want to add them. I think my rationale for omitting them was that
nobody is going to want to learn them. It is an escape sequence not
a keystroke. At some point in the future certain terminals may pick
a different sequence or terminfo could evolve so that they would be
programmatically selected. So the form of the existing keybinding is not
a fixed thing that can be relied upon for the future.

In practice new terminals are more likely to try to be compatible and if
it changes it'll be to a different form such as dispensing with the end
tag but returning the size in bytes first.
