Another possibility is that the user has a LESS environment defined, but
without "R" to let it interpret the color. When we do not see "LESS" in
the environment, we play nice and give them FRSX, but if the user already
has LESS, we assume the user knows better than us and do not touch the
environment.  Compare:

    $ LESS=N git show
    $ LESS=NR git show
