Assuming we keep it (is anyone using it?) I think I like something along
the approach of the generic views. We could add a `get_page_class` method
and a `page_class` attribute although I wonder if the latter isn't enough.
We'd need the former to maintain feature parity.

Comment:
Moving to `get_page_class()` plus `page_class` seems reasonable.
* I know it's not ''public'' but maybe we should deprecate `_get_page()`,
since it's been around a while. (Tim?)
* If so, there's a slight wiggle: `_get_page()` returns the instance where
`get_page_class()` would presumably give us the class, which we then
instantiate in `page()`.
Not sure whether just having the attribute would be enough? Maybe someone
is customising for first or last page, as one thought. We may as well
leave it available (rather than needing to re-add it later.)

Comment (by Josh Schneier):
I regret suggesting `get_page` for the piece where we inlined the docs
now. Maybe something like `get_safe_page` would have been better. That is
a minor issue, I do wonder if that particular aspect of the functionality
is used.
