Of course we should experiment too much now... However, I dislike the
"less" behaviour in i.group and others, if you "list" the existing
groups. reason: "less" doesn't exit immediately but waits for the user
pressing "q" to quit. That's very inconvenient. If I switch to "more",
the available groups are listed and "more" is left.
