Feature request: transition options

I realize this may not be possible depending on how the CSS/JS for the slide transition is constructed (and I haven’t had a look at the code myself), but it would be great if we could choose the transition between slides. I’d like to have the option of a smooth fade rather than the sliding animation. (But definitely only as an option — in some use cases, the current sliding is perfect.)

Here’s my use case for this: Since the Gutenberg Cover block doesn’t support a slideshow, I’m using a series of Cover blocks inside the Carousel Slider block. I’d like to have the slides fade, because I am using the same overlay caption content in all of the slides, and I’d like that to stay in place during the transitions, rather than moving with each slide image.

Right now I’m getting around this by setting the Slide Animation Speed to 0, but I am already anticipating that my clients are going to want the slideshow to fade instead of abruptly switching from one image to the next.
