More on those...
So far flex units are defined for width, height, padding, margin and
left/top/right/bottom attributes.
But I suspect that 'border' may also benefit from them if to think about
border-image for example.
Or think about construction like:
#rightmost
{
border-left: * solid yellow;
}
it will shift the #rightmost element to the right with the fill of that
space by the yellow color.
Will it be useful? Probably for things like the <meter> from HTML5
