 With this code:

 {{{#!python
 from django.contrib.postgres.search import SearchQuery, Value, Func
 from django.core.paginator import Paginator
 from django.db.models import F, TextField, DateTimeField, Models
 from django.utils import timezone

 class Entry(Model):
     text = TextField()
     published_on = DateTimeField(default=timezone.now())

 class Headline(Func):
     function = 'ts_headline'
     output_field = TextField()

     def __init__(self, text, query, options=None):
         extra = {}
         expressions = [text, query]
         if options:
             opt_str = ''
             for key, value in options.items():
                 opt_str += f'{key}={value},'
             expressions.append(Value(opt_str[:-1]))
         super().__init__(*expressions, **extra)

 entries = Entry.objects.annotate(
     text_highlighted=Headline(
         F('text'),
         SearchQuery('house'),
         options={'HighlightAll': False},
     )
 ).order_by('-published_on')

 paginator = Paginator(entries, 20)

 # evaluates the queryset
 paginator.page(1)
 }}}

 Passing options by {{{dict}}} to the {{{Func}}} subclass causes the count
 step for pagination to fail silently in paginator.py line 85 [#link1 (1)]
 which is in turn caused by a silenced TypeError during the hash in
 expressions.py line 372 [#link2 (2)].

 Then, because of the fallback to {{{len}}} on paginator.py line 90 [#link3
 (3)] the entire queryset is evaluated instead of evaluating just the
 specified page (and in this specific case, calling ts_headline on every
 row instead of just the first page).

 The correct way of passing options using {{{**options}}} instead of
 {{{options=None}}} fixes this case, but the silent error and fallback to
 calling {{{len}}} on a queryset causes an unexpected expensive query when
 using pagination.
