+  Springs help chains of objects, such as the notes in a line of music,
+  distribute themselves evenly.
+  Each spring decides the length from the reference point of one object
+  along the line to the reference point of the next, based on a force
+  applied to the entire chain (see Spring::length() for details):
+     length = distance_ + flexibility * force
+
+  distance_  is the ideal separation between reference points
+  inverse_stretch_strength_ is the flexibility when the force is stretching
+  inverse_compress_strength_ is the flexibility when the force is compressing
+  min_distance_ sets a lower limit on length
+
+  Typically, the force applied to a list of objects ranges from about
+  -1 to about 1, though there are no set limits.
