Gecko used to implement a concept like this, but we stopped doing so
when I reorganized the way we do intrinsic width calculation, and it
would now be rather hard to do.

I think IE7 and old Gecko (before Gecko 1.9 / Firefox 3) browsers
exhibit this behavior for some examples of table layout, but other
browsers (Gecko since 1.9 / Firefox 3, WebKit, Opera) do not.  I'm
not sure about IE8.
