I'm no friend of bad language, but selection support in paginated slickgrids is aehm... lacking.

I've been a slickgrid user for a while now and appreciate the "sacrifice everything for performance"/"slickgrid doesn't handle this, so you can do it in your way" philosophy, but even if a programmer is willing to do the selection bookkeeping on his own, there are a few obstacles that make this task much too complicated.

One is the the CheckboxSelectColumn plugin, which I'm using in this grid. The "Select All" checkbox simply sets all grid rows selected on the CURRENT page, but doesn't emit an event telling "hey datasource, the user just (de)selected all row items!".

So even if I'm willing to play the "selection bookkeeper", i can't. Can the CheckboxSelectColumn Plugin please fire such an event?
