Yes, this is another possible approach. Such a function would then
have to uninstall itself again ... that gets a bit messy if there
might be other wrappers. The conditions for whether to install the
wrapper would be similar to those implied for the zle-line-finish
hook.
Personally I'm curious what the necessary command-agnostic
help-coloring pager might be.
