In a different life I once worked at a place where they had implemented a fairly useful mechanism into their less preprocessor. It was active by default (interpreting all kinds of formats, much more than us), but you could deactivate it very easily by appending a ':' to the filename. So # less paper.pdf would show a formated text-only output of the PDF contents, whereas # less paper.pdf: would show the binary blob as is.
That was extremely convenient. Just another data point.
I think this is exactly what lesspipe does. So I guess it is just '+1' for lesspipe integration :)
Don't we already have that since years? Just compare
less some.rpm
