Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-sizing][css-overflow][css-flexbox] Ability to control the sizing of the overflown content area (#8725)

Ah, nice, the fallback alignment sounds good. Can't wait for all of that to be available — it + `> * { flex-shrink: 0 }` should mostly work, but — I still think that this should be possible to specify on the element itself.

My opinion — almost every time there is something that makes sense to specified as `> *` should be possible via setting something on the element itself. That's how we got the `gap` instead of all the margins, that's one of my things in a wish-list for CSS grids (ability to specify default columns/rows for example), and in this case this is also something that, imho, makes sense to have as a container property. There are too many reasons not to rely on the `> *`, like the specificity clashes, inability to set it via JS without overcomplicated code, and so on.
