The way git handles this is that the default-default is `less`, but you're one compile-time config knob from changing it to something else. Same for the default-default LESS environment variable.

I know "less" isn't available on some Unices (e.g. ancient SunOS), but our
current default-default sounds really bad on OSX. If we stick to "more" as
the only default, we should disable the color as well and tell packagers to
set better defaults.

+1 for encouraging packagers to set config anyway.
