Redhat 7.2 does not ship ncurses 5.2 (as usual, Redhat ships a development
version of ncurses without noting this).  The macro you're referring to was
omitted from the curses.h during one of my edits to separate the wide-character
functions+macros from the base narrow-character calls.

in 20010922 - a little over a month.

This is what Redhat shipped (plus a few changes that I wouldn't want to own):
