Random thought: patternUnits="objectBoundingWidth"

Hi all

I have been wondering if, in addition to "objectBoundingBox", it might be
useful if there were the options "objectBoundingWidth" and
"objectBoundingHeight".  This would allow patterns, gradients, clipPaths
etc to be described in terms of the object's width or height.

At present, patterns defined in terms of objectBoundingBox will stretch and
squash if the object shape changes.  Having a way to fix the pattern aspect
ratio may be useful, for example, in SVGs used in responsive web designs.

Example 1: A square grid pattern that has exactly 10 squares across.
Example 2: A circular gradient the height of the object centred in the
object.

PS. As always, apologies if this idea has come up before.
