Description
I've had this lying around for the past couple of months. Pasting it here because I don't have time to continue working on it.
This introduces a MultiObjectPaginator class, which is like ObjectPaginator but paginates across different types of objects. For example, if paginating across books and CDs, it would take care of displaying books first, then CDs (or vice versa, depending on the ordering preference), and it would handle pagination properly.

Is this going anywhere, adrian?

Its safe to assume that if Adrian opened it originally, the idea has been accepted.

The new Paginator class from [7306] handles this.

From a skim through of the new paginator stuff, I can't see that it fixes this yet.
The trick is we want to be able to check the combined length of the multiple querysets without actually causing them to all be iterated (otherwise we could do a simple iter.chain).

Closing because the use-case is pretty rare.
