Maybe you should do the same for enum term_event_type as you do for
struct term_event_size.

Maybe this isn't the best thread in which to bring this up, but reading
code like this leads me to wonder why we have set_kbd_term_event,
kbd_set, and so on. Right here, you show that we aren't doing it for
opacity, and surely they don't make such a huge dent in LOC. All they do
is hide some memsets and assignments behind mazes of macros.
