Ah, fantastic, this patch is pure awesomeness!

I had merged this already shortly after you posted it and made some
minor changes to it before you sent the updated patch, but I think I
added everything you changed later on, too. Tollef, Miklos, could you
please check if the git version has everything that your updated patch
has too?

Things I added on top of this patch: made it look a bit harder for a
good pager; the pager is now the child, not the parent process; only
spawn pager for systemctl commands that generate unbounded output.
