I think it's a useful feature, basically it allows a box to contain 
"optional" children that appear only if there's extra space.

It can be a completely separate patch from this whole extended layout 
thing, of course. (But it depends on having extended layout, since the 
if-fits child is not included in min size of the box, but is included in 
natural size of the box.)
