See my response to Juri.  For the explicit commands (i.e., not involved
in isearch) it might make sense, because the user actually asked to see
"next page".  I think it's a DWIM step too far, though.  Just because
you've on https://foo.bar/?4524 doesn't mean that the site author had
meant for visitors to that page to go to https://foo.bar/?4525, which
may be a totally different topic (for instance, something Not Safe For
Work).

The user is free to edit the URLs as they wish, but as a command in a
web browser?  I'm sceptical that we'd be doing the users a favour.
