I feel that going through the shell makes things more brittle
I don't think it's brittle but it's icky. Using OPEN-PIPE is just the easiest way to get the shell to do free parsing for us. It also allows using pipes and for-loops in PAGER so I agree it's not ideal.
Here's a v2 that does more work for less result, but feels less dirty :-)
Kind regards, T G-R
