It already is documented:
PSQL_PAGER PAGER
If a query's results do not fit on the screen, they are piped through this command. Typical values are more or less. Use of the pager can be disabled by setting PSQL_PAGER or PAGER to an empty string, or by adjusting the pager-related options of the \pset command. These variables are examined in the order listed; the first that is set is used. If none of them is set, the default is to use more on most platforms, but less on Cygwin.
We're certainly not going to copy four or five different versions of the "more" and "less" man pages into psql's man page, if that's what you're suggesting. Nor is it our job to point out shortcomings in some versions of those man pages.
