Ah, yes, I keep wondering why it's not :p.

I mean, that would almost completely defeat the entire purpose of doing 
it differently :p.

Although perhaps that would be odd, but you could of course easily 
transform "cat |" into "<" internally if you did it internal to the 
shell, but perhaps that would defeat the entire dicussion as well (and 
the purpose of separating these things semantically) :p.

For the reader:

"G" in Vim goes to the last line of the file, and "gg" goes to the first 
line. To me that's all very confusing and ever since I started using 
"gg" I started mixing them up ;-).

"g" then, in less, also goes to the first line, and "G" also goes the 
the last line, so perhaps it is easier to remember for me that way :p.
