Description

Web developers currently have no way to know when a programmatic smooth-scroll has completed. A solution to the problem that has already been resolved in the CSS WG: make the programmatic scroll methods return Promise objects that get resolved on scroll completion.

[smfr]

Seems reasonable.

@smfr on that note should we propose to mark as position support?
