Oh, the bug was filed yesterday...talk about timing. I'll apply the patch and try it out right away.

Thanks!

hi Dominique;

Bastian Winkler recently filed a bug[1] with a patch to implement
ClutterScriptable in ClutterInterval. the patch has been accepted, and
will be pushed to the 1.16 stable branch. I need to make a new 1.16
release soon(ish), so it'll be in the next stable release of Clutter.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
