Update core animate() to allow additional functionality

[peterh-capella]

At its heart, jquery.scrollTo uses this format of the .animate() method:

.animate(properties [, duration ] [, easing ] [, complete ])

Would it be possible to use the alternate version of the .animate() method:

.animate(properties, options)

to allow optional passing in of additional properties that could be animated while the scroll is happening? For example, animating (with the proper plug-ins) the background color of an element while it scrolls.

It appears on cursory examination that this would involve moving the current duration, settings.easing, and callback arguments to a new options object as well as getting the current attr argument into a new properties object along with any other properties that are passed into the plug-in.

Yes, there's an open issue that adds the step option so I thought of rewriting it as you say, I'll tackle both asap (bear with me).

Good to hear! I'm working on something that would benefit from the enhancement but understand these things take time. :) If I come up with anything in the meantime, I'll let you know.

Thanks, if you get to submit a pull request I'll check it out asap.

As I commented on another similar issue, found there's a conflict with the "queue" setting which is also recognized by jQuery.animate(). Will look into this.

This feature is implemented on the window-scroll-alt branch. I created the issue #107 for the whole thing that has a larger scope.
If that branch makes it to master this issue will be fixed too.

I merged 2.0.0 to master via #109, the call to $().animate() receives the whole setting object so any setting supported by your version of $().animate() can also be used with scrollTo.
If you have any issue after the update, first check this link, If your problem is not solved then go ahead and report the issue.
