Re: [csswg-drafts] Make child visible outside of `overflow: hidden` (#4092)

@grorg Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated - it's actual useful feedback because it let's me know you're freaked out to implement it :)

> It just draws bitmaps in a particular order (and they often still fall short in some of the examples above).

Interestingly enough, this is precisely how I'd summarize what I'd want it to do, it's the heuristic we need to work out (eg: this will not be another `z-index`).

Along with the other form control styling investigations we're doing, this is actually at the top of the list of the first things I plan to dig into. I posit that you don't **need** it to escape the window. But, I'll need to go add some telemetry and get end user feedback to see if that holds true. That said - I don't think we're in a position to actually propose something for this yet. As I wind down some of my other work I'll begin digging into `<select>` including this item in this [repo](https://github.com/WICG/form-controls-components) and will hopefully be able to begin determining a solution along with the brilliant folks that build out component libs & design systems every day; and all of you wonderful UA implementers/standards folks as well :)
