This is idendtical to 'border-parts: repeat(20px 10px 0 1fr)' in the
previous proposal, it seems.
The problem is the competition that appears between repeat and
fractions. We think of fractions as eating up the leftover space.
However, 'repeat' is also very good at eating leftovers and this makes
fractions go towards 0.
When used separately, both mechanisms have merit.
But I don't see them working well together on the same property.
