I think additional directives will make pagelists easer to use. But I'd
prefer to not use (:first:), (:last:) etc, and instead go with something
like (:pagelist-first:), (:pagelist-last:). It's a bit longer to type, but
you won't be doing it that often so I don't see it as a big problem. What
you gain is clarity - you won't start wondering what (:first:) would do
when not related to a pagelist. (I'm ignoring that the templates can also
be used with searchresults)
Cheers
