I can assure you that I will *always* want case (3) rendering in that
circumstance.  Both case 1 and case 2 end up with the horrendous
effect that colors from my left border show up in what I consider my
top border.  In your round-corners-sciter.png image, example 10 is
horrifyingly bad and will *never* be the desired rendering of that
code, believe me.

I'm not sure how to specify this without screwing up your other
examples, which are all very attractive and pretty much exactly what I
would want and expect (example 9 is weird, but understandable).
