Some rationale from my end:

We though adding the number of pages would be useful, becase that's something
you _don't_ get by clicking the item - it requires clicking two consecutive
items and subtracting in your head - and because you may want to slowly hover
over headings and see how big these parts of the document are, for a kind of a
"mind-map" or evaluation of a single item, without clicking through each and
every item. The page range also requires two-clicks-per-item (unless you keep
an accumulator in your mind).

My point in saying this is, that when you file a feature request, you need to
make a concrete argument for your specific feature, in the specific way you
suggested it be implemented - and also take into consideration alternative
means for achieving the same effect, explaining why they are insufficient or
inadequate. Heiko mentioned you have a lot of open bugs (which I have not gone
through), so perhaps this suggestion is applicable elsewhere.
