[bug#44663] ui: Launch $PAGER through the shell.

I feel that going through the shell makes things more brittle

I don't think it's brittle but it's icky. Using OPEN-PIPE is just the easiest way to get the shell to do free parsing for us. It also allows using pipes and for-loops in PAGER so I agree it's not ideal.

Here's a v2 that does more work for less result, but feels less dirty :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R
