Flex container shorthand as SCSS mixin.

// Usage:
//
//   @include flex[(keywords)];
//
// Keywords:
//
//   [wrap | column | center* | flex-start* | flex-end* | stretch | baseline | space-around | space-between]
//
// * If only one of these keywords is present, it's used for both justify-content and align-items.
//   When two keywords are present the first goes in justify-content (main axis) and the other in align-items (perpendicular axis).
//
// Examples:
//
//   @include flex;
//
//     display: flex;
// 
//   @include flex(column wrap);
//
//     display: flex;
//     flex-direction: column;
//     flex-wrap: wrap;
// 
//   @include flex(center);
//
//     display: flex;
//     justify-content: center;
//     align-items: center;
// 
//   @include flex(flex-end flex-start);
//
//     display: flex;
//     justify-content: flex-end;
//     align-items: flex-start;
//
