    /**
     Defines the direction and method in which the `MarqueeLabel` instance scrolls.
     `MarqueeLabel` supports six default types of scrolling: `Left`, `LeftRight`, `Right`, `RightLeft`, `Continuous`, and `ContinuousReverse`.
     
     Given the nature of how text direction works, the options for the `type` property require specific text alignments
     and will set the textAlignment property accordingly.
     
     - `LeftRight` and `Left` types are ONLY compatible with a label text alignment of `NSTextAlignment.left`.
     - `RightLeft` and `Right` types are ONLY compatible with a label text alignment of `NSTextAlignment.right`.
     - `Continuous` and `ContinuousReverse` allow the use of `NSTextAlignment.left`, `.right`, or `.center` alignments,
        however the text alignment only has an effect when label text is short enough that scrolling is not required.
        When scrolling, the labels are effectively center-aligned.
     
     Defaults to `Continuous`.
     
     - Note: Note that any `leadingBuffer` value will affect the text alignment location relative to the frame position,
     including  with `.center` alignment, where the center alignment location will be shifted left (for `.continuous`) or
     right (for `.continuousReverse`) by one-half (1/2) the `.leadingBuffer` amount. Use the `.trailingBuffer` property to
     add a buffer between text "loops" without affecting alignment location.

     An optional custom scroll "sequence", defined by an array of `ScrollStep` or `FadeStep` instances. A sequence
     defines a single scroll/animation loop, which will continue to be automatically repeated like the default types.
     
     A `type` value is still required when using a custom sequence. The `type` value defines the `home` and `away`
     values used in the `ScrollStep` instances, and the `type` value determines which way the label will scroll.
     
     When a custom sequence is not supplied, the default sequences are used per the defined `type`.
     
     `ScrollStep` steps are the primary step types, and define the position of the label at a given time in the sequence.
     `FadeStep` steps are secondary steps that define the edge fade state (leading, trailing, or both) around the `ScrollStep`
     steps.
     
     Defaults to nil.
     
     - Attention: Use of the `scrollSequence` property requires understanding of how MarqueeLabel works for effective
     use. As a reference, it is suggested to review the methodology used to build the sequences for the default types.
