I wouldn't say it is better. I wanted to disable the behavior of less -F
but quilt's use of LESS wasn't documented. I chose to add QUILT_LESS_ARGS
simply to be consistent with other Quilt env variables, and also to be
consistent with other tools that page their output (e.g. MANPAGER, GIT_PAGER,
etc.). If you wish to revert my change and simply document LESS I believe
that would also suit my needs.
