I'd love to have a version of "less" that understands
MIME types and renders them appropriately.
I just wouldn't want it to be called "less" !

Why would they CHANGE the meaning of a popular
command?

I even dislike it when they replace "vi" with "vim"
and leave some of the new behaviors turned on by default.
