Re: Flexbox: grow item only when wrapped

I don't believe so. The flex-basis is needed on the first item to force the
second item to wrap.

To help clarify my question, here is the same example, this time including
the workaround I mentioned. You can see the desired effect—*only* when the
second item is wrapped, it grows.
