Easily done, but I am not sure that this is the right thing to do.
A pager is designed to handle excess vertical input, but not all
can handle excess horizontal input (the width). I suspect that doing
so would not be a good idea for the same reason given to me when I
asked "why not send everything to the pager?": some systems force you
to specifically exit the pager; this can be real annoying for cases
with small input.
