Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-2] subgrid and grid-gap

> Adding that ability might make for a less complex solution.

Not a bad idea and it might solve other use cases we don't know about yet.

So as in something like this?

`````
grid-column-gap: 20px;
grid-row-gap: repeat(3, 0px) 20px;
`````
The gap would repeat the row-gap pattern over and over like how `grid-auto-rows` works.

That could work to solve the use case but the problem comes in when we use the shortened version of the syntax.

``````css
//this syntax currently sets column-gap
//to 10px and row-gap to 20px

grid-gap: 20px 10px;
``````
Notice that it uses a space to seperate the 2 values?

I think what we could do to get around that problem is to make this syntax also valid:

``````css 
//this syntax could also be introduced to 
//set column-gap to 10px and row-gap to 20px

grid-gap: 20px / 10px;
``````
That way we could do this for the shortened syntax:

```css
grid-gap: repeat(3, 0px) 20px / 10px;
```
