Is there a use-case for this? If not, it's just confusing. Symmetry is not
worth adding confusing options that noone will understand. To be clear,
here's how things would layout on a fixed-width/height flexbox:

wrap:
|AB|
|C |
|  |

nowrap:
|AB|C
|  |
|  |

wrap-reverse:
|  |
|C |
|AB|

nowrap-reverse:
|  |
|  |
|AB|C
