In Gecko, at least, we can layerize pretty well whether or not a property
requires a stacking context. The problem is that some properties (opacity,
filter, etc) don't make any sense unless they induce a stacking context.
For those properties you want will-animate to induce a stacking context
because you want the rendering change, if any, to happen early.
