I am after tweening events more than the actual position of a selector.
ie. class.increment(); <short pause> class.increment(); <slightly longer
pause> class.increment(); <even longer pause>... until stop

So I would be providing a UI of selected items via visual easing.

I think I have this nailed down... just wanted to get some other ideas on
how best to approach it.
