Yes, This is big deal which bother me. I wonder that somesone want to get whole records for all of APIs you mentioned. I prefer 2 and not return Pagination with updating pg it self.

I wonder that someone want to get whole records for all of APIs you mentioned.

Although not all, there are potential use cases.

• Want to delete all the statuses posted.
  It is necessary to know the ID of all the statuses.
• Create a GUI application using go-gtk or shiny.
  When implementing the function to display the old status by scrolling,
  Will get a timeline by using max_id when scrolling.

I prefer 2 and not return Pagination with updating pg it self.

When geting the status at the timing of scrolling, I think that max_id should be given to the user.
The user will use the saved max_id at the next get timing.

This is a simple sample I think.

func scroll() {
	var maxID *int64
	for {
		<-scrollCh // Scrolling will unblock the channel.
		tl, pg, err := c.GetTimelineHome(ctx, &Pagination{
			MaxID: maxID,
		})
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}

		maxID = pg.MaxID
	}
}

Ah, make sense. Okay, let's update the signature to add Pagination for the funcs which return list.
