If i remember correctly the resultbrowser if oscommerce does it this
way: 

get an instance of the resultbrowser (in typo3 impl as service?)
call showResults() with a sql-query, the number of results per page
  and the page-count

all the stuff for showing a list is now handled by the resultbrowser.
the page-counter is a internal var of the browser.

i believe this way is very easy to understand for ext-devs.

a possible trace of a ext: (pseudo code)

function main() {
  b = getInstanceofService("resultbrowser");
  b->setQuery("SELECT * FROM foo");
  if(!b->showResults()) {
    // no page browsing mode
    // perhaps single view or armageddon.
  }
}
