This is all very well and nice - but we'd also need a 'less' that supports
color sequences, otherwise the color coding would be a waste for any grep
output that is more than a screenful.
Would be nice if the next diff also has color coding (like the new diff
mode in emacs 21), but again, that would need a color-capable less to be
of any use.
