I don't always want to use a pager even from a command line. If GRUB sets
pager=1 forcibly, I dislike it. I prefer that computers behave as I like, to
that I behave as computers like.
BTW, I don't like "pager" at all personally. For me, this is a hack only for
working around that GRUB has no support for pipes.
