Description (last modified by Ian Foote)

In the documentation for pagination, we recommend using this boilerplate:

try:
    contacts = paginator.page(page)
except PageNotAnInteger:
    # If page is not an integer, deliver first page.
    contacts = paginator.page(1)
except EmptyPage:
    # If page is out of range (e.g. 9999), deliver last page of results.
    contacts = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages)

This could be abstracted away into a simple method on the Paginator class, perhaps named something like results_for_page.

When I last used the paginator, I needed to copy'n'paste the boilerplate code, so probably could do with an utility method. I'll take a look.
