Summary of the new feature/enhancement

We recently released a cross platform pager as a NuGet package Microsoft.PowerShell.Pager. The intention is to use the Pager for Get-Help and dynamic help.

The has been interest expressed in utilizing the Pager in a more general purpose way.

This issue is to discuss if the Pager should be distributed in some other form. Options on top of my mind in no priority order.

Built-in function or Cmdlet to use as a Pager

Something like, no intention of designing the cmdlet surface here.

Get-Process | Out-Pager 

.NET global tool or Executable

The behavior will be similar to a native pager like less or more.com.

Get-Process | pspager 

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
