Comment (by xavivars):

 I'd even go further, and have a function (or static method) so you provide
 the the base URL, the current and total pages, and other stuff like the
 format to use on the pages,... and then have that method used by the
 current `paginate_links()` method (to keep backwards compatiblity).

 That would make it much easier to reuse the logic of the pagination in
 other places (like plugins, or
 [https://github.com/timber/timber/blob/master/lib/Pagination.php Timber])
 relying on core code, so no more ugly code needs to be written to simulate
 that behaviour.

 That would also make it much easier to unit test (no need to setup too
 much WordPress global stuff, but relying on input parameters only.
