> Personally I don't like the `F` option (unpredictable behavior), `X`
option (if I wanted to read the last screen of the paged stuff, I wouldn't
have quit `less`), or `S` option (information loss), but that's just me.
If I look at a docstring (which displays with a pager), sometimes I want
to refer to the docstring when typing the next command, and then it's
really frustrating that it went away when I typed "q" to quit the pager
program. The same can happen with hg commands, although not as
frequently, at least for me. However, it can also be nice to restore what
was there before I started reading the docstring. We could add an option
for any hg command which uses the pager: by default, it will open with
"R", but with the option, it will open with "FRX".
