Description
This has the advantage of getting all the functions of the standard Range and still having specific functions for a range of pages.
Also the Debug with the start..end that core has looks better imo than debug_struct
I can make a PR for this.

Research direction
Start by locating the PageRange definition and its implementations, then compare their API and Debug behavior with core::ops::Range. Make PageRange a trait for the standard range while preserving page-specific functions and the start..end Debug format; verify that existing users and tests still work.
