I'm not able to wrap my head around the point of having an inline-flex property?
What are some use-cases where display: inline-flex can be useful?
It is like the difference between display: block and display: inline-block.
Both applies flex layout to the element, but display: inline-flex makes the element inline.

I'm having a hard time myself to be honest.
MDN tells this: "The element behaves like an inline element and lays out its content according to the flexbox model."
The spec doesn't give any clarity either: w3.org/TR/css-flexbox-1
I can't imagine using flexbox inline in a paragraph for example.
