supply a pagination templatetag that takes in a paginator object

[Gary Wilson <gary.wilson@…>]

I've seen a few different pagination template tags out there, one example is PaginatorTag. I think this is such a common thing that it should be added to Django. There is a good bit of logic and template code that this sort of template tag needs, and it seems a bit un-DRY to have to add such a chunk of code everywhere you want a list of pages to appear.

I think with a few configuration options, we could make 90% of users happy. Options like:

• behavior -- [full] list / [surrounding] X pages / [current] page only
• show first/last -- True / False
• show previous/next -- True / False

The template tag might look something like:

{% paginator <paginator_object> behavior full firstlast True prevnext True %}

This gets even better (for generic views) if #4805 is implemented.

I think this would be a good implementation, but let's keep the discussion in/around #3169.
