This makes it easy to implement behavior that is specific to certain object types. | * Scroll supports “object binding” to custom classes.

| This is just the same class as the standalone tutorial, you might be thinking. So far, you’re correct. What we’ve created in this tutorial is the bare minimum running Scroll project. The advantages of Scroll come in all the other functions available in the Scroll classes.
