Sounds good. The one exception I can think of right now is if it were
possible to generate a trail index page dynamically from (:pagelist:). 
I've brought that up for discussion quite a while back, but I can't 
remember what came out of it. The idea would be that you'd like to use the 
result of (:pagelist:) to generate a trail. For instance:


	SomeTrailIndexPage:
		Bla bla .. this is a trail index page.
	
		* [[Cool page 1]]
		* [[Cool page 2]]
		(:comment Now find the rest of the pages automatically:)
		(:pagelist weird-trail-tag-or-whatever:)

In this particular case, maybe it'd be nice to have (:pagelist:) return a 
link to the current page? OTOH, we would hardly use 'list=normal' for 
this.

Ok, so I got seriously off-topic here.
