Hm, so, am I understanding you right that the desired effect is the
following (again, for abspos children of flex containers):

- If flex-wrap: nowrap:
  Align items per align-items, ignore align-content
- If flex-wrap: wrap or wrap-reverse:
  Ignore align-items (because the size of the line is the size of the
flex item), align per align-content.
  Unless align-content is stretch and cross-size is definite, then use
align-items.

Right...?
