We've had extensive discussions about this in the past, so, no, unlikely to change anytime soon.

This basically boils down to the fact that a page number is the page you're *on*. Meaning it's not counted in a "page left" counter. Which in turns means that "left" means what's off-screen. So, yeah, on the last page, that's 0.

This ties into a myriad of little things everywhere, so it's not something that can (nor should it be, quite frankly) changed lightly.
