Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] Display any element as part of any given grid

> @meyerweb The example that @mrego linked above was created by you, so I thought I'd @ you so that you can chime in 😀regarding the whole ticket.

I’m in favor of the general concept, as you might expect.  The exact syntax I’m more agnostic about.  Using properties that refer to custom identifiers in the idiom of grid areas (e.g., [SelenIT’s example](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2530#issuecomment-389187506)) is fine with me, and could benefit from being an approach familiar to authors.  Using a syntax like the one I came up with is fine with me as well.

The only thing I’d want to be aware of is making sure whatever syntax is devised works well with, or at least does not complicate:

1. The future ability to flow content between grid areas/slots/whatever in a Regions-like way.
2. The future ability to refer directly to grid cells/tracks for direct styling.

I think those are both important capabilities to preserve.  I’m not saying I see ways they would conflict here, just that I’d want that on the list of Things To Be Careful About™.
