Yeah, if PAGER is set.  If not, we fall back to some wired-in default.
But I think the proposal here is to let an emacs-related environment
variable override whether we use a pager at all.

True.  That would have the advantage of fixing more stuff than just psql,
so there's some attraction to doing that instead of hacking psql.
