An author who thinks about the problem in terms of how to control the
handling of the space character is quite likely to look up the `white-
space` property for a solution. Using "flexbox" for this sounds quite
a bit like "Why does auto attribute for margin not work vertically?",
unless it ends up being a really big hammer in authors' toolboxes.
