Feature Request: "Scooting" of ToC as Page Scrolls #49

It seems that if the table of contents is longer than the height of the page, it will have a scrollbar, so that works! But sometimes you'll scroll down on the main page, and the currently selected ToC item will be outside of the visible part of the ToC...it's still there, it's just hidden because the ToC div is scrolled above it. This means that sometimes you'll scroll down a ways and suddenly there will be no visibly selected ToC item, which can be confusing.

Dropbox has a solution: with Dropbox's API docs on a smallish browser window, if you scroll way down you can see that the scrolling table of contents on the left scrolls so that the currently active item is always visible when it is scrolled to.

If you'd like, I can make a small example that demonstrates the issue.

So yea, an option that automatically scrolls the table of contents (when necessary) so that a newly activated ToC item is always visible would be awesome!

Thanks again for the awesome plugin!
