You override none of them, *because 'transform' is a separate property*.
And as I said, whether or not 'transform' is a shorthand that resets
the other transforming properties is something we can discuss. I
think it's probably fine to not do that, and leave 'transform'
independent as well.
(That would mean that the rotate isn't overridden either. You
independently translate and rotate, then afterwards apply the
transform. Nice and easy.)
