Any semi-good emacs users (let alone hackers) export PAGER=cat to be used
in compilation mode (and possibly shell mode), so this is not a problem in
practice.

I have something like this in my .emacs:

    (setenv "PAGER" "cat")

I suspect (I am just a user not a hacker) this will have bad interaction
with emacs terminal emulation mode, but I do not use the mode, so it is
enough for me.
