 > But, if I recall correctly, the Customizer on WordPress.com has some of
 the same kind of bouncing effects; so it seems to me that this kind of
 function should be available for use outside of core?

 I agree this kind of function could be useful outside of core. The reason
 I wanted to define it as an internal function is that I'm not 100% sure
 this is the right signature and behavior for general use, and it's much
 easier to change an internal function after the fact. I'm not against
 making it available though.

 is used in [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/master/src
 /wp-admin/js/customize-widgets.js customize-widgets.js].

 I'd considered it and was initially uncomfortable because I imagined a
 function like `highlightElement` doing the highlighting with colors rather
 than animation, but I don't think it matters. Both are simply drawing the
 user's attention. I'll make the switch. Thanks!
