I just used `perl6 --doc` for the first time and the very first thing that
went through my head was "Aw man, no pager?"

I would like to suggest using a pager (e.g. 'less') by default. I think this
would follow the principle of least surprise a little better as most Perl
users are very accustomed to using a pager with perldoc. Not only that but
it's kind of annoying to have to scroll up all the time.

I suggested the idea to tadzik and he seemed to like it and wanted more
feedback.

I'm all for it, if we make sure that it doesn't become fragile. That
includes

- falling back to the current behavior if no pager is available
- catching errors while launching the pager, and falling back to the
current behavior
- tested on Linux, Mac OS X and Win32

If we can get it to run reliably, I'm all for it.

I'm a bit confused about what to do with an RFC bug. Close it, because
no patch was forthcoming? Regard it as a feature request?

From @AlexDaniel

Yea, it is a feature request. And I'd say a very reasonable one.

So I guess it should go to the problem-solving repo.

Closing this after opening the issue above.
