would let you dive right in to a row offset for any index

Right.
I'm not too worried about unstable URLs at this point (maybe later), but
do you have an example for row offsets? I'm probably missing something,
but I don't see an easy way to get the total # of rows at this point.
Since I'm using an older version of MW for this (1.13 -- not my choice!)
is there something I need to backport? I've looked around already, but
I'm hoping there is just something I'm missing.
I guess you'd just have to emit the query with a count(*).... it could be
very expensive on a large table. :(
