Another missing feature i really need is a r.totalpages field, to
display something like:
'Page ' + r.pageno + ' of ' + r.totalpages in report footer.

I know you can't know in advance the total number of pages, but in
other tools it's implemented this way : the rendereing drops a
placeholder, then , before the final output, it goes back and replaces
the placeholder with the real number of total pages ... of course this
can be done that way only if the final output is buffered ... have to
look at C sources ... (I have not written a single working line of C
in years) ....

This obviously is only useful in page-oriented output styles (pdf)
