I'd like to take a step back and ask why we want any special behavior at all for columns that overflow in the inline direction. Seems to me that `continue` is a means of controlling block overflow, in particular so that we get rid of content that would only partially fit at the bottom of a container (e.g. half of a line), which is why we introduce fragmentation here, so that we can handle monolithic content correctly. (Otherwise, `overflow:clip` would do, right?) If we want this special behavior for columns that overflow in the inline direction, then why not for flex items as well? Or grids, or floats, or anything that overflows in the inline direction?
