+ * contain any styles to transition to, then, if ngAnimate is used,
+ * it will appear as if the webpage is broken due to the forever hanging
+ * animations. The clip (!ie) and zoom (ie) CSS properties are used
+ * since they trigger a transition without making the browser
+ * animate anything and they're both highly underused CSS properties */
