I'd like to remove curses from the Ruby standard library.

I believe the standard library should get as small as possible, and I can't find any reason to have curses except for a compatibility reason.  And Ruby has RubyGems now, so it's enough to have curses.gem for compatibility.

I've created a repository for curses.gem.

I'm not a user of curses now, so it would be great if someone can take over it.

Can I remove curses from Ruby 2.1?
