If I had to vote as as user, Greg's suggestion made the most sense to
me. It was a simple approach that I could easily understand, and easily
envision using with and without a pager.

But basically, I pretty much *always* use a pager, having settled on
comfortable $LESS.

That said, I really don't see myself using the wrapped format so maybe
my vote shouldn't count.
