Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] [varfont] access to named instances

I outlined this in #1289 but am copying this over here as an example for how we might be able to do this in CSS:

```
@font-face {
        font-family: Hamstervar;
        src: url("Hamstervar-VF.ttf");
        font-stretch: normal;
        font-weight: normal,
        font-variation-settings: "wdth" 85, "wght" 327; 
}

@font-face {
        font-family: Hamstervar;
        src: url("Hamstervar-VF.ttf");
        font-weight: bold,
        font-variation-settings: "wght" 572; 
}

@font-face {
        font-family: Hamstervar;
        src: url("Hamstervar-VF.ttf");
        font-stretch: expanded;
        font-weight: bold,
        font-variation-settings: "wdth" 112, "wght" 572; 
}

```

In this way we tell the browser _how to apply_ the keywords, in this way using `font-variation-settings` to effectively map the values we want to the keywords expected.
