Ah, that's how to get at it.

It's subclassable in the same way UITableViewController is subclassable, and I 
think it makes a lot of sense for it to be its own datasource and delegate, 
just like a UITableViewController is usually for a UITableView.

Perhaps there should be a UIPageView to make the analogy more complete.

The problem I have is that I have to create the thing programmatically to make 
it useful. But a more capable IB would let me do this all in IB. One thing it 
would need to support is wiring IBOutlets across scenes. There can also be a 
distinction between static and dynamic page view content (in which case the 
static content could be entirely specified in IB, and dynamic view controller 
template scenes could be specified).
