+/// By default, if items are inserted at the "top" of a scrolling container like
+/// [ListView] or [CustomScrollView], the top item and all of the items below it
+/// are scrolled downwards. In some applications, it's preferable to have the
+/// top of the list just grow upwards, without changing the scroll position.
+/// This example demonstrates how to do that with a [CustomScrollView] with
+/// two [SliverList] children, and the [CustomScrollView.center] set to the key
+/// of the bottom SliverList. The top one SliverList will grow upwards, and the
+/// bottom SliverList will grow downwards.
+///
+/// ```dart
+/// List<int> top = [];
+/// List<int> bottom = [0];
+///
+/// @override
+/// Widget build(BuildContext context) {
+///   const Key centerKey = ValueKey('bottom-sliver-list');
+///   return Scaffold(
+///     appBar: AppBar(
+///       title: const Text('Press on the plus to add items above and below'),
+///       leading: IconButton(
+///         icon: const Icon(Icons.add),
+///         onPressed: () {
+///           setState(() {
+///             top.add(-top.length - 1);
+///             bottom.add(bottom.length);
+///           });
+///         },
