/// Sourced from - https://bitbucket.org/ddreaper/unity-ui-extensions/issues/82/scrollrectocclusion
/// Demo - https://youtu.be/uVTV7Udx78k?t=39s ScrollRectOcclusion - disables the objects outside of the scrollrect viewport. Usefull for scrolls with lots of content, reduces geometry and drawcalls (if content is not batched) In some cases it might create a bit of spikes, especially if you have lots of UI.Text objects in the childs. In that case consider to Add CanvasGroup to your childs and instead of calling setActive on game object change CanvasGroup.alpha value. At 0 it is not being rendered hence will also optimize the prformance.

    /// Fields
    /// - InitByUSer - in case your scrollrect is populated from code, you can explicitly Initialize the infinite scroll after your scroll is ready
    /// by calling Init() method
    /// 
    /// Notes
    /// - In some cases it might create a bit of spikes, especially if you have lots of UI.Text objects in the child's. In that case consider to Add

    /// - works for both vertical and horizontal scrolls, even at the same time (grid layout)
    /// - in order to work it disables layout components and size fitter if present (automatically)
