<p>
When dragging a sortable item to a new location, other items will make room
for the that item by shifting to allow white space between them. Pass a
class into the <code>placeholder</code> option to style that space to
be visible. Use the boolean <code>forcePlaceholderSize</code> option
to set dimensions on the placeholder.
