Re: [PATCH RESEND] Do not override LESS

That's not a solution. Alice and Bob can also change their
environment to their taste as well. Why punish existing users?

As I said, when you ask for "less", I tend to think it is correct to
get "less". Not "LESS=FSRX less", with a special case if LESS is
already defined.

If the problem you are trying to solve is that there is no existing
combination of the environment variables for them to do so, you can
solve it by introducing a new configuration or environment to
support such usage and documenting it, can't you?

I was trying to clean up things, not to make them even more confusing.
If backwards compatibility is more important to you, I can understand.
