Recent change in less(1)

Hi,

The recent change in the behaviour of less(1)

wonders me a little.

Is this really the desired behaviour?

If so I have a question: how to obtain the former behaviour of the -e
switch, i.e. quit when EOF is hit twice always (thus whether or not
when the file happens to fit on a single page)?

I also have a remark: I think that also the man-page should be updated,
because:

  COMPATIBILITY WITH MORE
       .....
       The -e option works differently.  If the -e option  is  not  set,  less
       behaves	as  if	the -E option were set.  If the -e option is set, less
       behaves as if the -e and -F options were set.

is no longer the case.
With above change, more-compatibility OR -e implies -F, while above
documents that only more-compatibility AND -e would imply -F.
