From: Eric Blake <eblake <at> redhat.com>

Subject: pr lacks -p
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 10:38:44 -0500
POSIX requires 'pr -p' to support paging (although it incorrectly stated
that it waits for \r, and is being fixed to wait for \n instead):

During discussion of the behavior of -p today, the Austin Group was
surprised that coreutils' pr lacks -p altogether.
