New polyfill about fitie HOT 4 OPEN

Looking at fitie.js, you're wrapping the img or video element in a custom element (duplicating a lot of CSS styles from that element to the wrapper), and then you have a little bit of complexity to support img and video and fill, contain and cover.

I guess that's needed for supporting <video>, but can you confirm that for <img> only we can go with background-image and avoid the complexity of doing the math (and live updates) ourselves?

Most of what you suggested has been published here: https://github.com/bfred-it/object-fit-images

• browser does the math through background-image
• object-position support
• background-color is not overridden (2.2.0)
• global function
• automatic new content detection
• srcset support

fitie's disadvantages are necessary to support <video> so it's unlikely that they are implemented here.

I recommend archiving this project. Other solutions have better support and it is irritating when there are multiple polyfills (come on devs, GitHub is actually for collaboration ;-) ) and you have to decide which one to use.

I’m okay with someone contributing to this project (with a non-failing PR) and eventually taking it over to make such a decision. That being said, bfred-it wrote:

Unless you have evidence to show this is no longer the case, I’m not sure what you are basing your opinion on, other than your personal convenience and current non-video needs.
