TabAtkins: I am glad to hear that it is an intended use case, as this approcach -- setting "flex:1 0 auto; height:0; overflow:auto" -- solved my particular issue. But I apparently does not understand how flex-basis:auto mixes with height:0 (flex items aligned in column)

TabAtkins: beucase in my understanding, flex-basis and width/height (based on the main axis) were the same... apparently not.

can somebody think of any existing methods in interfaces defined in the HTML spec where it's the same method name with multiple signatures
13:02
<MikeSmith>
different args
13:10
<MikeSmith>
hmm do we really have no overloaded methods in HTML
13:11
<MikeSmith>
d'oh but this is a JS limitation
13:14
<MikeSmith>
...or not
13:14
<MikeSmith>
context is that I'm trying to resolve a spec build bug introduced by https://github.com/whatwg/html/commit/bb00977fe0f4960f929bb9fa136be2003383d551
13:15
<MikeSmith>
which overloads setTransform()
14:50
<nox>
Did LenientFloat disappeared, or has it never been something in the actual specs?
14:51
<nox>
MikeSmith: What's your problem with overloading?
14:51
<nox>
MikeSmith: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#timers:dom-windowtimers-setinterval ?
23:29
<MikeSmith>
nox: it's not a technical problem but instead just a logistical problem with how to mark up the source of the spec with unique IDs for it
23:29
<MikeSmith>
if you look at https://github.com/whatwg/html/commit/bb00977fe0f4960f929bb9fa136be2003383d551#diff-36cd38f49b9afa08222c0dc9ebfe35ebR64382 you'll see it adds a 「subdfn data-x="dom-context-2d-getTransform"]
23:31
<MikeSmith>
because it's adding a setTransform(matrix) method
23:34
<MikeSmith>
but the problem is that since we already have a setTransform(a,b,c,d,e,f) method marked up with 「subdfn data-x="dom-context-2d-getTransform」the spec build fails because that would produce duplicate IDs in the resulting spec output
23:36
<MikeSmith>
in looking for some precedent in the spec about how to handle the markup for it, I've so far found only one other overloaded method in HTML, for setRangeText()
23:37
<MikeSmith>
but in that case the spec defines it as the same method, with one required arg and then some other optional args
23:38
<MikeSmith>
but in the case of setTransform the args are completely different
