I sometimes see blog posts lamenting how inconsistent UIs are in modern apps.
When did consistency peak? Windows 3? After the release of Aqua for macOS? The era when Bootstrap was the default CSS framework for many web developers?

It's confusing how 'REPL' refers to two different UIs:
A CLI like IPython or Julia, where things like multiline editing and syntax highlighting need careful implementation.
An editor protocol like SLIME or CIDER where multiline editing is a total non-issue.

I've been experimenting with different pagination UIs.
It's so common to have arrows, but I've realised they're redundant here. When you have the adjacent values as well as the final value, you don't need > and >> arrows too.
Thoughts?
