Drats, foiled again! :)

What if the templating engine put a special markup
around each iteration like this:

(:iteration:)
...
(:iteration:)
...
(:iterationend:)

This markup would basically mean: "if the section
after this is not blank, increment internal counter
and if the counter is not within the paging range,
delete everything up until the next (:iteration:). 
This would not require any thought on the user's part
in the template, the pagelist count would just
magically work! :)
