Description

While using TranslateResultToActionResult to return responses in the form of ActionResults, there is no way for the caller to know the details of the pagination.

The reason is because the ToActionResult method in the ResultExtensions class just cares about the "result.GetValue()" and ignores the Pagination details which were fed by the upstream services as shown below:

return Result<IEnumerable<StoryDto>>.Success(pagedStoryDtos).ToPagedResult(pagedInfo);

Is there a way we can modify this behavior so that the caller can see the pagination details too?

Research direction
Examine the ResultExtensions.ToActionResult method to understand how it ignores pagination data. Explore options to include PagedInfo in the ActionResult, such as custom headers or a wrapper object.
