Although I am an emacs user, and have been bitten by the unwanted pager
problem inside shell buffers, I would vote against making psql detect
running inside emacs and change behaviour, specially considering it may
open the gates to also detect vi, netbeans, eclipse or whatever program can
run it as a subprocess, specially when any reasonable shell used inside the
buffer supports things like {alias psqlemacs='psql --pset=pager=off'} or
functions or scripts which easily avoid the problem.
