Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] random() function (#2826)

Thanks a lot for following up on this thread, super excited to see this!

Before I comment on the proposals above, I just wanted to make sure we're philosophically on board with the idea of extending the capabilities of CSS as such. I guess it's hard to find an argument _against_ it since we already have `calc()` but, adding something like `rand()` presumably means adding many other things as well (rounding, lists, etc.) and it's undeniable that it's a pretty significant departure from today's CSS. I'm pretty sure, for example, that implementing these functions will result in many requests for a `console.log`-like feature in CSS.

Is that a problem per se? I'm not sure, but I'd rather make sure before we jump on the implementation details :)
