//! The spinner of a cell that is still evaluating.
//!
//! The frame is a function of the clock and nothing else: there is no accumulator and no
//! remainder to carry, so however irregularly the event loop redraws, a redraw only
//! decides *when* the spinner is asked, never *what* it answers, and it cannot drift.
