.background() vs .backgroundStyle()

What's the difference? What use case for each?

background takes a View. backgroundStyle takes a ShapeStyle.

So you would use background if you wanted to put another View as the background and backgroundStyle if you were using a color or gradient or material or whatever else conforms to ShapeStyle.

The default backgroundStyle is also stored in the environment so you can restore it when you want to.
