Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-multicol] How do elements between column-span and its multicol ancestor appear around the span (#1072)

So I'm working on editing in @mstensho's model along with this resolution. What I have is a problem of naming things.

We resolved to name the element which has `column-count` or `column-width` applied to it the **Multi-column/Multicol Container**. This means it is the same as a Flex Container or Grid Container so makes sense.

In @mstensho's model we end up with an anonymous wrapper, which he has referred to as a multicol container. Initially I thought we could refer to this as "rows", but having discussed this in SF with @frivoal we are both keen to keep rows for the scenario when we allow for overflow in the block dimension, which would create (in the mind of the author) very definite rows of column boxes, which could themselves contain spanners etc. I think row should be maintained for this use.

So, what do we name the anonymous wrapper? We could use _multicol wrapper_. In the flexbox spec we have *flex lines*, so _multicol lines_? Does anyone have a better suggestion?
