Sort of -- though, as you noted later, there's a semi-compelling reason that 'auto' needs to be magical & compute to different things: to provide different sane defaults, w/ backwards-compatibility. Whereas, there's no strong reason that 'stretch' needs this computed-value-time magic. (I suppose if we take this complexity for 'auto', then it's not significantly worse to take it for 'stretch' as well, though.) ~Daniel
