Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-variables?] Higher level custom properties that control multiple declarations (#5624)

@emilio `--pill` might not be a good example, as it only needs to control one property, so indeed one `if()` serves that case just fine. However many of them need to control multiple, often across several rules. I listed a lot more in my original post. Also, once you have several of these custom properties controlling intersecting sets of properties, solving it with `if()` suffers from combinatorial explosion. Lastly, with `if()`, you need to provide an alternative (either explicitly or implicitly), whereas a lot of these are about additional "traits" that only set certain declarations when they are actually specified.

Idea: Would it be easier to implement if one was only able to set other custom properties in these conditionals?
