I'm not sure what my plans for this will be.  It is a tricky problem,
because if a pagelist template uses any (:if:) directives to exclude
pages from appearing in a list, then we can't be certain of the
count of pages being displayed.  

For example, people will get very confused if they specify count=1..10,
but an (:if:) directive in the pagelist template only displays 5 of them.
