Motion seconded,
    it could easily have a RUN_LAST default method in place that
simply changes the page & a boolean "handled" accumulator to ensure
that only one handler turns the page.

Maybe I'm missing something, is there a reason why we'd want to
enforce that the user supply a "forward" / "backward" handler ?
