/**
 * 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.
