+// goal instead of jumping the pose, notches compounding on the pending
+// value so a fast scroll is one long push; a delta bracketed by a
+// gesture (a drag, a pinch, two fingers) applies at once, the content
+// staying under the fingers, which is how the control tells a finger
+// from an impulse (the 2d camera's rule). And a commanded move -
+// glideTo(pose), fit(bounds, { glide }) - eases there the same way. Any
+// input drops a commanded glide (a finger landing holds the view); a
+// pose write through set() lands at once and drops any motion, so a
+// parked pose is a still frame. A zoom's goal keeps its anchor: the
+// target is derived from the eased distance each frame, so the point
