Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] Introducing overlapping cells in grid-template-areas syntax

Simply having an alternative method for achieving the same result shouldn't in itself exclude a feature from being introduced. We wouldn't even have `grid-template-areas` if that was the case.

I think this is a simple, easy to understand way to add overlap to a template of grid areas.

I'm not sure if this is anything worth considering but this is also something that Autoprefixer could auto-translate into IE syntax for users. This will speed up adoption of the new feature since users that have to support IE11 can use the feature without fear. The alternative proposed solutions wouldn't be something that Autoprefixer can translate.
