That's already what it does, for the standard built-ins, if you have the help
files generated. You probably don't have them if you're using zsh from
Homebrew, or if you built from source without the documentation stuff, but the
zsh that ships with macOS and the one in the Debian/Ubuntu repos at least come
with them.

idk about your actual question. It seems problematic to force a specific pager
and pager options on the user, if nothing else
