/// Demonstrates using the "list clipper" to efficiently display long
/// lists in a scrolling area.
///
/// You specify the height per item, and the `ListClipper` API will
/// provide which item index are visible. This avoids having to create
/// thousands of items only for them to not be made visible.
///
/// Note this requires a fixed (or easily computable) height per item.
