Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] Track sizing algorithm and gutters

My concern about integrating gutters explicitly into the track sizing algorithm is that some places will remember to integrate them and others won't, and then we'll have actual problems. The spec very explicitly defines that gutters behave exactly like fixed-size tracks for the purpose of the grid sizing algorithm, which avoids any such synchronization problem. I'm happy to add a note reminding the reader of this fact at the top of the grid sizing algorithm, but I do not want to introduce spurious errors by pretending that gutters are potentially not exactly equivalent to fixed-size grid tracks for the purpose of sizing.

> the use of "base sizes" -- I don't generally consider gutters to have base sizes (or limits)

Gutters are defined exactly to behave as fixed-size tracks of the gutter width. So of course they have base sizes and limits.
