What is the LayoutElement.FlexibleWidth/FlexibleHeight above 1 for?

The flexible width or height in a layout element, I've always used from 0 to 1 as a percentage for population. But it is able to go beyond 1, what is this for? I saw someone say that it was for setting a pixel value, but I tested this and it did not seem to be true. Could someone clarify?

I'd say it's a mistake in the component not using Range and the value just gets clamped.

That would be interesting since it's been this way for a number of years at this point. Relatively obvious mistake to be persisting for so long. Maybe later I'll go through their source code and see what's happening behind the scenes with it.
