Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] random() function (#2826)

> At this point I'm inclined instead to first make sure that Houdini Custom Functions can control their evaluation carefully enough that they can create a full-powered random function themselves. Assuming that works out, I can revisit making a standardized version.

Does this mean providing a mechanism in browsers so CSS authors can experiment with supporting their own `--random-range()` and `--random-set()` and `--own-custom-random()` functions in their stylesheets to discover which ideas might be beneficial to lock into the platform later? Who knows, maybe the way people use `--random-range()` ends up exclusively for generating colors where a `--random-color()` function or some other abstraction ends up fitting what you're actually using the randomness for even better?
