Pager: Rules for Mid-range Display

[erin yu]

One of the next steps for Pager would be to design and implement what  
we call the "mid-range display".

What is mid-range display?
Let me explain with an example. :) Let's say you're on page 45 of 102  
pages.

Instead of showing the page numbers the traditional way, like this:
.. 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 ..

we'd like to show the entire range:
1    20    40   43 44 45 46 47   50    60    80    90     100   106

so the user has quicker access to the pages in the middle and while  
still having easy access to the near-by pages.
The first draft of the rules is on the wiki if you are interested:

It's a work in progress, and as usual, feedbacks are welcome.
