Review Comment:
   The current approach does allow for future extensions. Different "data 
pointers" can be introduced when a Persistence impl. needs them. Since the 
"data pointer" always makes a round trip from Persistence code to the client 
and back to the _same_ persistence code, that code is free to introduce new 
encoding/decoding methods without affecting anything else.
   
   It is remotely possible that a page token ends up in an API method call 
different from the one that produced it. However, having "data pointer" 
sub-types (as opposed to just pairs of encode/decode methods) does not add any 
safety here. We could encode some "place" identifier into the token to bind it 
firmly to the API method, but I think it's an overkill.
