I already do - all the time.

I do that too.

I didn't even infer I wanted more(1).

I'm often that customer too. By that I mean often I log into a new 
machine or as another user or a generic user to find nobody bothered to 
set up anything for it. It's not that I, or anybody else, "can't be 
bothered" rather we are asking for not having the bothering thing at 
all. I can be bothered. I've been bothered many, many times and I've 
fixed and changed this. But still I hit it all the time.

My whole response was based upon the line in the OP of "It seems that 
pretty much all unixes alias "more" to "less" these days". I took that 
literally to be correct. If it's not then I guess never mind. After all 
I always set up my aliases for me so more always = less, for me. Cept 
when I have to deal with other people's environments under Cygwin where 
more's not = less, by default.

I didn't even ask you to add a symlink. Look at the subject. The OP was 
asking for an alias.
