quickTo() and quickSetter() functions css and attr options

Hi, i was wondered if there was a reason that quickTo does not allow 'css' or 'attr' as options in the way that quickSetter does? Possibly performance? Thanks in advance

Yep, that's exactly it, @JamesGrubb. The .quickTo() method is like a direct wire to the inner-guts of a tween where the start/end values are stored AFTER all the parsing has happened. So the "css" and "attr" stuff involves various amounts of extra parsing, validating values, swapping aliased properties, etc. quickTo() skips all that for performance reasons.

Thank you!. I was trying to use it to animate css custom properties but went with quickSetter instead.

Ah yes, I've improved that in the next release so you should be able to do that just fine - here's a demo with a beta version of the upcoming release:

Is that what you're looking for?
