/**
 * The scroller gremlin scrolls the viewport to reveal another part of the document
 *
 *   var scrollerGremlin = gremlins.species.scroller();
 *   horde.gremlin(scrollerGremlin);
 *
 * The scrollerGremlin gremlin can be customized as follows:
 *
 *   scrollerGremlin.positionSelector(function() { // return a random position to scroll to });
 *   scrollerGremlin.showAction(function(element) { // show the gremlin activity on screen });
 *   scrollerGremlin.logger(loggerObject); // inject a logger
 *   scrollerGremlin.randomizer(randomizerObject); // inject a randomizer
 *
 * Example usage:
 *
 *   horde.gremlin(gremlins.species.clicker()
 *     .positionSelector(function() {
 *       // only click in the app
 *       var $list = $('#todoapp');
 *       var offset = $list.offset();
 *       return [
 *         parseInt(Math.random() * $list.outerWidth() + offset.left),
 *         parseInt(Math.random() * ($list.outerHeight() + $('#info').outerHeight()) + offset.top)
 *       ];
 *     })
 *   )
