LGTM, but please add a NEWS entry. You should document that some functions can now fail and that the exception type changed in some existing error handling code paths.

…on#134327) Some curses module-level functions and window methods now raise a `curses.error` when a call to a C curses function fails: - Module-level functions: assume_default_colors, baudrate, cbreak, echo, longname, initscr, nl, raw, termattrs, termname, and unctrl. - Window methods: addch, addnstr, addstr, border, box, chgat, getbkgd, inch, insstr, and insnstr. In addition, `curses.window.refresh` and `curses.window.noutrefresh` now raise a `TypeError` instead of a `curses.error` when called with an incorrect number of arguments for pads. See also ee36db5 for similar changes.
