eldritch horrors

RunPager is weird and confusing in that it replaces what stdout *is* depending on environmental conditions. this has not caused problems, but it's easy to imagine situations in which it would (eg if the stl decided to capture the stdout fd by duplicating it). using a wrapper for this also makes clear *what* actually goes into the pager; while the previous contract was semi-reasonable it was also very implicit, and with the proliferation of functions we had that printed directly to stdout it would have been easy to send wrong output to the pager. using a wrapper also makes process management much easier because we do not have to rely on destructors to always produce correct output.
