[. ] I have searched existing issues and confirmed this is not a duplicate

Issues and steps to reproduce

Flexbox lays out its children in linear fashion. Can we have something like yoga flexbox layout of facebook, where we can layout a child independent of siblings and take margin, padding as relative to parent. https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/06/absolute-positioned-children

Expected behavior

Ability to layout children relative to its parent.

Version of the flexbox library

2.0.1
