We can animate an object's x and y positions separately, but this feels hacky. We could animate a pos to a new value. It would even be OK for the animation system to break this down into an x and y animation internally, as long as we handle the callback correctly (we wouldn't want to callback after one property finishes but the other still has a frame to go, for instance).

The same applies to r, g, b, and a properties on a color.

This ties into the concept of "animation groups", which would only trigger their callback when all animations were completed; but it's somewhat simpler because it doesn't have to support multiple duration values within the group.
