+/**
+ * @fileoverview
+ * cr-slider wraps a paper-slider. It maps the slider's values from a linear UI
+ * range to a range of real values.  When |value| does not map exactly to a
+ * tick mark, it interpolates to the nearest tick.
+ *
+ * Unlike paper-slider, there is no distinction between value and
+ * immediateValue; when either changes, the |value| property is updated.
