It's not necessary for assigning `__seg` pointers to `far` ones, which
might even remove the <dos.h> dependency in some translation units.

The supposedly low-hanging fruit that almost every outside contributor
wanted to grab a lot earlier, but (of course) always just for a single
game… Comprehensively covering all of them has only started to make
sense recently 😛
Also, yes, the variable with the uppercase .CFG filename has itself a
lowercase name and vice versa…

The TH04/TH05 BGM/SE mode setup is a good example for code where
different structure field offsets will vanish completely upon reverse-
engineering. If we continued to use the per-game ID string as the
variable name, we'd only have another game-specific "difference" there.

At least wherever Turbo C++ and master.lib want us to use a
non-pointer, since both use uint16_t for segment values throughout
their APIs instead of the more sensible void __seg*. Maybe, integer
arithmetic on segment values was widely considered more important than
dereferencing?
