Description
Hello pygment folks,
Just started to use pygmentize on windows as I'm looking to get less.exe to have syntax highlighting. Works great. However, if I pipe the results to less and then hit 'q' to exit less, I get the following issue.
pygmentize -v fin.scm | less
(the code is displayed colorized...I then hit q to exit)
*****************************************************************
An unhandled exception occurred while highlighting.

BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
This looks a bit different than #1109 and #1153 although it may be the same root issue.
Certainly not a critical issue as it's just an error message at the end, but I wanted to ensure it was reported and I do hope it's a simple fix.
Thanks for the time to look at this and the great program.

Research direction
Start with pygments/formatters/terminal.py, especially format_unencoded, and reproduce the reported pygmentize -v fin.scm | less command on Windows before pressing q. Compare the BrokenPipeError with related issues #1109 and #1153; done means exiting less no longer produces an unhandled exception or traceback.
