I will very much appreciate this change because I believe it will make
my Qooqle app's source much cleaner. :)

Hey, even Jifty's pony's search engine doesn't get its paging
mechanism quite right. It will be cool if Jifty can offer an easy way
to preserve arbitrary Jifty::DBI::Collection objects (and multiple
variables in the context) across "Next Page" links.

*Nod*. At this moment my Qooqle passes search keys via link args. But
when I provide some more search criteria in the near future, passing
these among my templates and actions will quickly get boring. (The
pony does have *many* search criteria, doesn't it? ;-))

Cheers,
Agent

P.S. Could anyone tell me why the pony is soooooooooo slow recently? :(
