It's not that it wouldn't work, it's that it would cause other
problems. In particular:
<div style="overflow: scroll">
<div style="display:table-cell"> <!-- shrink-to-fit wrapper -->
<div style="width:2000px; background:green; margin: 50px">wide!</div>
This is text that ought to wrap at the width of its
overflow:scroll container (and would without the
shrink-to-fit wrapper), but instead it doesn't wrap until it
hits the 2000px width of the overflowing content!
