>Description:

The recent FreeBSD releases have less(1) in the base system, it's possible
to use it as a pager for man(1) since it has some benefits.
For example - pressing "G" won't exit the pager at the text end.
"less -is" is used on most Linux distros as a man pager.

However, something has to be done with /usr/share/skel/* files as well, since
they define PAGER ..
