Using the paginator helper, is there a way to determine what page an  
item in the collection is on?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I don’t think he was asking about what page is currently active.  
Rather, for a particular item in my paginated list, what page would it  
appear on assuming that the data remains constant between now and  
then?
