[OHM] TimeSlider - calling attention to early prototype

[Jan Ainali]

What I would like is not primarily a range slider (although there might be
cases where that might be interesting). But my primary use case is to see
the map for a specific point in time. That also gives the benefit in not
having "double" objects at the map. If you have a range, you might have
features being built, destroyed and then new ones being built in that
range. How would that be rendered?
