I don't know.. The pager invocation already checks whether the output is a 
tty. Quite frankly, I think that is sufficient for all cases we're 
discussing right now (ie anybody who uses "--stdin" would *also* redirect 
the output!), and we could certainly make it check that both the input 
*and* the output is a tty.
