hey @ki0k1

I've had some similar challenges and couldn't work out the best LayoutKit way to do it. Hopefully someone else can offer a better solution.

However the way I achieved this was to simply create a subview where necessary.

In your example I would have 1 and 2 in the same view (add 2 as a sub layout to 1), then add a basic UIView and add 3 to that.

There's definitely a need for an overlay layout.

You can build one yourself, Issue #90 actually has a sample project that happens to include an OverlayLayout.swift, which might help as a starting example.

A poor workaround might be to add a zero-size layout in that corner and add to it a sublayout that extends outside of its bounds. Whether this would work probably depends on whether Layout 3 has a fixed static size.
