But we could do something close to that, say two-space indent for the variable names and four-space for the descriptions. > To me that looks like a good trade-off: it eases the size constraints > for both the description and the name of the variable, at the cost > of consuming one more line per variable, but that's why the pager > is for.
Yeah, we're already past the point where it's likely that helpVariables()'s output would fit on one screen for anybody, so maybe this is the best way.
the "less" pager supports horizontal scrolling very well.
