In modern setups, less, the pager, uses alternate screen to show
the content. When it is closed, it switches back to the original
screen, and all content is gone.
It is not uncommon to request that the output remains visible in
the terminal. For this, the option --no-pager can be used. But
it is a bit cumbersome to type, even when command completion is
available. Provide a short option, -N, to make the option easier
accessible.
