The `WavepoolEffect` plugin provides an interesting new typing experience: the
LEDs light up as you tap keys and play one of the selected effects: a haunting
trail of ghostly white lights, or a blazing trail of fire.
The `WavepoolEffect` plugin makes waves of light splash out from each keypress.
When idle, it will also simulate gentle rainfall on the keyboard.
## Using the plugin

It is recommended to place the activation of the plugin (the `USE_PLUGINS` call)
as early as possible, so the plugin can catch all relevant key presses. The
configuration can happen at any time and should use the `WAVEPOOL` macro to do so.
as early as possible, so the plugin can catch all relevant key presses.
## Plugin methods
The plugin provides the `WavepoolEffect` object, which has the following
properties:
### `.variant`
> Set the effect to use with the plugin. See below for a list.
>
> It is recommended to use the `WAVEPOOL` macro to declare the effect itself.
### `.stepLength`
> The length - in milliseconds - of each step of the animation. An animation
> lasts 256 steps.
>
> Defaults to 50.
## Plugin helpers
### `WAVEPOOL(effect, params)`
> Returns an effect, to be used to assign a value the `.variant` property of the
> `WavepoolEffect` object. Any arguments given to the macro are passed on
> to the effect. If the effect takes no arguments, use an empty `params` list.
## Plugin effects
The plugin provides the following effects:
### `Haunt([color])`
> A ghostly haunt effect, that trails the key taps with a ghostly white color
> (or any other color, if specified). Use the `CRGB(r,g,b)` macro to specify the
> color, if you want something else than the ghostly white.
### `BlazingTrail()`
> A blazing trail of fire will follow our fingers!
