Interesting. With an interface like that I would probably not use the 
feature at all. I would probably just use "replace animation" and 
nothing else, since the push/pop commands and the timeout commands since 
those both kinda volate Mode-View-Controller by putting "model" data 
into the "view" which is going to have to be duplicated in the "model" 
anyway for other reasons.

But for non-sidescrollers... maybe just making a hero or an NPC do an 
"emote" in a regular RPG, I can see that interface being convenient.
