IJavascriptAnimation { CharSequence getJavascript(); }
AjaxRequestTarget.append(IJavascriptAnimation ani);
AjaxRequestTarget.prepend(IJavascriptAnimation ani);
something like that? that is pretty pluggable.
generalize it even more?
IJavascriptAnimation->IJavascriptProvider
the assumption is that doing
(1) target.append(new FadeToYellow(component, Duration.seconds(2));
is a lot better then
(2) target.append(FadeToYellow.create(component, Duration.seconds
(2)).getJavascript());
eventhough (2) is how HeaderContributor works

I'm sure we can. But the API won't be as straightforward. Bascially
everything you need for an animation is a chunk of javascript, so
prepend/appendJavascript can do the work. But you need some helper
classes to generate the javascript. However, is is more decoupled and
more difficult/uglier to use.
Plus if we want to prepend animations (before component replacement),
we need to add funtionality to asynchronously delay component
replacement. Fortunately, due to the ajax pipeline we have, this
should be very easily doable.
