Even with zsh 5.8, this doesn't work.

I get the following error:

cventin% LF () { () { cat >$1 &! less $1 ; kill $! } =(:) }
cventin% echo | LF
(anon):kill: kill 27684 failed: no such process

And

cventin% (sleep 1; echo foo) | LF

gives an empty file in "less", also with an error if I quit "less"
after 1 second.
