I have a feeling that this goes against the recent trend of not
mucking with the expectation of the users on their pagers, if I
recall correctly the arguments for dropping S from the default given
to an unconfigured LESS environment variable.

It's just missing an explanation.

(That's -I, not -i, because it ought to work even when the pattern
contains capital letters.)

Spot on.  The change, especially with "-I", makes sense.

Thanks.
