Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] font-stretch is unfortunately named

Another thought on @Crissov’s comments …

unless the new alternative also added new features

The main difference with most of the other unfortunate naming choices 
is that `font-stretch` support still hasn't been widely implemented 
(if at all).

Between this and the expansion of functionality with variable fonts I 
mentioned before, I really hope this is enough to convince @litherum 
to open this issue up again. It seems much more logical to improve the
 naming for a thing that still hasn't been implemented than it would 
be to have to explain to confused developers and designers for the 
rest of time that `font-stretch` isn't actually doing what the name 
implies.
