To be blunt, this entire discussion seems rather silly to me. If one
wants to be pedantic, none of these replacement analogues accurately
describe the behavior either (for instance, last I checked, an actual
spring that can compress to zero width doesn't exist), so what's the
point? Replacing one imperfect analogy for another is an improvement
how?

Imperfect is better than completely opposite and confusing.


No one want to make the layout API a physics simulator. Being a little more
pedantic, AddInflation describe exactly the behavior and I like it.

+1 for AddFiller anyway.

Saluti,
Dario
