You seem to be pointing out that "digraph" does not mean what GNU
screen means by the word. I've retitled the bug, but if you really
care about this issue you should perhaps make a patch to screen that
fixes its use of the word "digraph" to match the dictionary meaning.

For the purpose of this bug, GNU screen's usage of "digraph" seems
functionally equivalent to RFC 1345's usage of "mnemonic"; if you
really want to discuss word definitions, we can take this discussion
out of the BTS since it doesn't affect this report.
