Description
Description
When items are wrapping onto multiple lines, flex-wrap:balance distributes the content in a way that appears more balanced.
A good overview of this feature can be found here.
Ideally the scope would also include flex-line-count. I guess it’s too early to include max-content-sizing: shrink-to-fit, but I do hope something like that is able to ship soon.

Confirm the intended scope before including flex-line-count. Done means adding tests that verify balanced wrapping behavior across the supported cases.
