Having it configurable at runtime would be nice.  The use case is that
I wanted to post an interactive session, and the output from
help(someobj) was being caught by the PAGER and disappearing when I
hit 'q'.  Sure I can 'print someobj.__doc__'but I am trying to
emphasize the interactive session and what the user would see in
normal use...
