Proposal: debug tool to globally change animations playback speed

As user interfaces become more and more rich it is crucial to have the right tools to debug all the UI issues, and this includes animations. Some "storyboards" are actually made of dozens of different animations playing harmoniously together, and testing them at the actual speed doesn't really let you understand where the problem is and what's actually going on.

Summary

A drop down, somewhere, to decide a factor to be applied to all animations duration, both XAML and composition ones.

Rationale

Scope

Capability Priority
Allow developers to change Composition animations playback speed Must
Allow developers to change XAML animations playback speed Could
