-/**
- * The Velociraptor contains components and animates transitions with velocity.
- * It will only pick up direct changes to properties ('left', currently), and so
- * will not work for animating positional changes where the position is implicit
- * from DOM order. This makes it a lot simpler and lighter: if you need fully
- * automatic positional animation, look at react-shuffle or similar libraries.
