#40791: paginate_links outputs unnecessary dots
-------------------------------+-----------------------------
 Reporter:  rphelan            |      Owner:
     Type:  enhancement        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal             |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  General            |    Version:  4.7.5
 Severity:  normal             |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  ui, accessibility  |
-------------------------------+-----------------------------
 == Steps to reproduce: ==
 A) Call paginate_links with current=2, total=6

 B) Call paginate_links with current=5, total=6

 (assume defaults for everything else: mid_size=2, end_size=1,
 show_all=false)

 == Actual results: ==
 A) `[1] ... [3] [4] [5] [6]`

 B) `[1] [2] [3] [4] ... [6]`

 The output includes dots that are unnecessary because they are taking up
 space that an actual page link could occupy.

 == Expected results: ==
 A) `[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]`

 B) `[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]`

 When `total <= mid_size + end_size * 2 + 2`, no dots should be included in
 the pagination output.
