Dealing with content overflow

[johndeighan]

To start with, I thought I'd mention that the page at "https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/latest/" ends with:

But gives no clue as to how or where to do that!

Now on to my actual suggestion/feature request:

The CSS Escape Plan book says:

When the content overflows, there are three options: • just let it happen • clip it at the container boundaries • allow the container to scroll.

I think that you should add a 4th option: wrap content when elements won't fit within the right hand border (for rows) or bottom border (for columns). Benefits:

1. You can dispense with "wrappedRow"
2. In a radioRow, you can cause overflow options to wrap to the next line. BTW, this is my current problem. I want to create a set of radio buttons that could get quite long - you can dynamically add to the Set of possible options. Unfortunately, with a radioRow, at some point, the options are offscreen and not visible. I could, but won't, allow a horizontal scroll bar. Also, note that with this feature, you could allow a regular radio element (which is displayed in a column), to also wrap. I suspect that this feature would also benefit other Elements that display children in rows or columns.

Probably not relevant, but:
