I consider it to be a bug, myself. It'll be fixed in the next version.
If you don't want to wait for the next version, you can make the change
to the current version yourself. All you need to do is modify the the
curses.c file, and change...
pair(&IM, &EI, "im", ei");
mayhave(&IC, "ic");
... to...
mayhave(&IC, "ic");
if (!IC || !*IC)
pair(&IM, &EI, "im", ei");
This way, if your termcap entry has a non-empty :ic=: string defined then
elvis won't even look for the :im=:ei=: strings.
