Interesting to read about Z-depth [1] use in Material Design ... "In
addition to the X and Y properties, views in Android now have a Z
property. This new property represents the elevation of a view, which
determines:
The size of the shadow: views with higher Z values cast bigger shadows.
The drawing order: views with higher Z values appear on top of other views."
So morphic has a Z-order but I think not a Z-depth. Is that be
something we should be aiming for?
