I do not have any problem with that, but would very much prefer it as a
separate patch, in case there are any fallouts.

Ugh. Having just read the LESS discussion, it makes me wonder if the

  strchr(getenv("LESS"), 'R')

check I add elsewhere in the series is sufficient. I suspect in practice
it is good enough, but I would not be surprised if there is a way to
fool it with a sufficiently complex LESS variable. Maybe we should just
assume it is enough, and people with crazy LESS settings can set
color.pager as appropriate?
