The `gazetasp.com.br` site in bug 1925937 uses styles like the third part of my testcase (*both* width:0 and height:0).

If we suspect other sites might be doing the same thing with a similar scrollbar-hiding intent, we might consider special-casing `::-webkit-scrollbar { width: 0; height: 0; }` as behaving like `scrollbar-width: none`.  (where "0" could also be e.g. "0px", etc)

(We might also try to get the single-axis-collapsing, but as of now we don't have any confirmation that sites actually do that, so maybe that's something to not worry about until we have a demonstration that it's needed.)

hiro, what do you think?  Do you have cycles to craft a followup along those lines?  (As of now I only know of one WebCompat Site Report that would benefit from this, so maybe not a high reward, but also perhaps pretty low-cost as well, since I imagine a lot of the supporting pieces are now already there.)
