[csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] Should overflow: clip work on inline boxes? (#13257)

emilio has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-overflow] Should overflow: clip work on inline boxes? ==
The overflow definition [has](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3/#propdef-overflow-y):

> Applies to: block containers [[CSS2]](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3/#biblio-css2), flex containers [[CSS3-FLEXBOX]](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3/#biblio-css3-flexbox), grid containers [[CSS3-GRID-LAYOUT]](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3/#biblio-css3-grid-layout)

However that predates `clip`.

Firefox has since ~forever supported `clip` (used to be `-moz-hidden-unscrollable` on inline boxes).

I don't feel too strongly either way, but should we consider making `clip` work on inline boxes?
