	I know that. The accepted way of using less used to be to use
 a upstream filter. Right now, it is done like so:
______________________________________________________________________
__> printenv | grep -i less
PAGER=less -ciM
LESSOPEN=|lessopen %s
LESS=-ciMP?f%f :std in .?n?m(file %i of %m) ..?ltline %lt :byte %bB?s/%s ..?e(END) ?x- Next\: %x.:?pB%pB\%..%t
LESSCHARSET=latin1
__> eval $(lesspipe)
__> printenv | grep -i less
PAGER=less -ciM
LESSCLOSE=/usr/bin/lesspipe '%s' '%s'
LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/lesspipe '%s'
LESS=-ciMP?f%f :std in .?n?m(file %i of %m) ..?ltline %lt :byte %bB?s/%s ..?e(END) ?x- Next\: %x.:?pB%pB\%..%t
LESSCHARSET=latin1
______________________________________________________________________

	See how the distribution now uses lesspipe?

	I am bemoaning the fact that lesspipe is not directly usable
 by me anymore, since all the stuff got added to it.
