Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-5] Findings on SCSS function usage to inform direction of Color 5 (#5782)

> In SCSS, re-inserting is free because it is just string concatenation; we would need a way to enable re-creating a color from components.

We can already do that, e.g. `hsl(calc(var(--hue) + 10) 50% 50%)`.
In fact, [we measured which functions custom properties are most frequently used in](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sMWXWjMujqfAREYxNbG_t1fOJKYCA6ASLwtz4pBQVTw/edit#gid=2076074923), and `rgba()` was the 3rd most popular, containing `var()` in 4% of pages. `hsla()` was 5th, also used in 4% of pages (which is very significant because in general [`hsla()` was used far less than `rgba()`](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sMWXWjMujqfAREYxNbG_t1fOJKYCA6ASLwtz4pBQVTw/edit#gid=366025718).
