Great!

I think it would be nice to be able to choose other representations
besides RepHtml.  For example, the same URL could be used for JSON.
So, instead of

  getPaginateR :: Int -> Int -> GHandler (Paginate master a) master RepHtml

it could be

  getPaginateR :: Int -> Int -> GHandler (Paginate master rep a) master rep

Only the types change, the implementation remains the same =) and we
don't lose any static checking.

Cheers!
