 paginate_links() produces a list of numbered pagination links in archive,
 search, etc. paginate_comments_links() does the same for paged comments.

 Currently there appears to be no way of tailoring the link text to include
 context as well as the page number. A plain list of numbered links may not
 mean much for screen reader users who are using the screen reader's 'List
 Links' facility.

 For example, I would like to add '''<span class="visuallyhidden">Page
 </span>''' before the page number to provide context for the links for
 users of screen readers. My stylesheet will hide the extra text from
 sighted users, but it will still be available to AT (assistive
 technology).

 I suggest the addition of two new parameters: '''before_link''' and
 '''after_link''' for this purpose. The defaults for each parameter would
 be none.
