How does one truly fill a div with a background image? A true fill is one that does not preserve the aspect ratio of the image but instead stretches its width and height independently to fill the container, which can result in a new aspect ratio and always results in zero clipping.

background-image: url(images/stretchable.svg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100%;

Is the only alternative to make the image an object within the div?
