I like this too because it is simple.  But there is a problem of
deleniating pages. If you start from page 1 and scroll down 3 lines,
most of the text you see is from page 1, but the last 3 lines are from
page 2.  Conversely, if you see "page 2 of 2" you may be at the end,
or you could be seeing mostly text from page 1.

Wouldn't it make sense to show the status of the *completion* pager as
number of completions; something like "23 of 45"?
