A span reporting `Len::default()` whenever a child had a share threw away
how many shares it was holding, so each level of nesting re-divided a
share rather than dividing the same space. One span of a rect beside a
span of three gave 1/2 and 1/6 each, where the same four rects directly
in one span get a quarter.
A span that sizes from its children does not resolve `rest`, it passes
the weight up; resolution belongs at the nearest ancestor with a length,
and since the output became a box there is always one. The placement loop
already divides by `len.rest / total.rest`, so it consumes carried
weights unchanged -- only what the span reported was wrong.
The uneven nesting is the case that fails without this; the even one
passes either way and is here as the statement of intent.
