Comment:

 The patch uses by default some of the parameters used by Twenty Seventeen,
 however this upsets the theme, because there is a repeated nested span
 with the same class. So likely not the best way to achieve it, maybe
 changing the class name used in the would be a solution.

 Also I am not a big fun of the solution {{{ str_replace( '<a href="', '<a
 class="page-number" href="', $link ); }}}, however is the only way that I
 see for now with the current structure of the functions, but it would be
 very nice to improve consistency between {{{paginate_links()}}} and
 {{{wp_link_pages()}}} because they use parameters and class
 positions/names in a quite different way, despite they do basically the
 same thing.
