Would it not be better to use $PAGER to make this choice?
- it is already a convention
- it doesn't add to the tangle of options
- it allows even more control (eg. PAGER=cat)
I guess because $PAGER is typically not set, and PAGER=cat is
pretty much the same as "set scroll off".
I don't mind when a tool has its own idiosyncratic default for unset
$PAGER, but I do mind when it ignores $PAGER in favour of its own
idiosyncratic pager selection mechanism.
Ok -- but I'm still curious as to what other pager would be
preferable to less, more, or none?
