Why? When you call invoke less as "more" it works exactly the same but gives a classic BSD status line at the bottom.

less is better when you need to find namespaced functions.

e.g. I'm trying to find functions starting with sched_. When I use /sched_ in more, it doesn't highlight results on screen. less does that.
