If the outsets collide with a visual element then the code asserts
(once we have some kind of warning mechanism it will issue a warning.
If there is no frame on the edge of a container the outsets will push
into the parent growing the parent outset. This makes sure that if
you have something like:
panel() { button(name: "Hello"); }
Then the panel will grow to be large enough to enclose the button
(without screwing up other spacing) - so you don't get any pixel junk
if you hide the panel.
