This was actually the very first thing we tried with Shadow DOM
styling, at least two years ago.  At-rules seemed like the the most
natural context-switcher.

It ended up being *super* confusing to actually use, particularly when
you needed to switch contexts again into the <content>-distributed
stuff.

Just using normal selectors ends up working way better; it just makes
more *sense* to people in practice, we've found.
