Comment (by mgibbs189):

 @boonebgorges Regarding the other scenario:

 When `nopaging = true`, an elegant solution could be to override
 `posts_per_page`, similar to how `showposts` currently does it. E.g.

 {{{#!php
 if ( isset($q['nopaging']) && $q['nopaging'] ) {
     $q['posts_per_page'] = -1;
 }
 }}}

 IMO, I'd love to see `nopaging` disappear (like with `showposts`), but
 that's for another day :)
