Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] Stretching image grid items in both dimensions

I like Mats proposal better. 

The default is normal. I switch to stretch in the dimension where the 
image does not yet fill the space, and I get the result of breaking 
aspect ratio and having it stretch. If I want to 'fix' the aspect 
ratio, I can start telling the browser what I want it to do (likely 
with `object-fit`). If instead the aspect ratio was maintained, it 
wouldn't really be clear that the fix (to get the image to stretch to 
the size of the box) would be to apply stretch in the opposite 
dimension. That's a level of mastery unexpected. And I can't see being
 happy with overflow. Maybe I want the image to only stretch in one 
dimension — and when the grid cells change shape (responsive design), 
maybe I want the behavior in the other dimension to be different.
