And we are back to the wording. It should be fixed. Generally,
"ApplyOffset(GetNumberOf(CurrentPage()), N )" implies a numeric "page number",
which is not a requirement. Any such arithmetics will not give you a *number*,
but a "page number" - thus, the only sensible thing is
"GetNumberOf(ApplyOffset(CurrentPage(), N))".

Now we have a *different* field, namely, Insert Formula field, allowing to use
arbitrary calculations. The problem with its use is absence of a pre-defined
variable for current page (the PAGE means actually "total number of pages"
[1]). An improvement could be introducing such a pre-defined variable (with a
problem of naming, given how awful the current name of PAGE was chosen).

Also, there is a Page Variable, allowing to do additional magic...
