You think Google, Facebook, Flickr, etc. etc. etc. don't have this problem? If you consume their feeds you'll notice you can fetch offset-based pagination with ease. You'd never expect to see a navigation element at the bottom of Google search results that said "take me to results starting with the letter m".

Maybe OT, but the reason Swift doesn't support offset-based pagination
is because it doesn't scale well enough.  That probably doesn't apply
to everyone, though.
