Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values-4] Should arguments to min/max get simplified when only partial simplification is possible? (#4756)

Also, how far would this partial simplifications go?

Like `max(3em, 3px + 1em, 1px + 2em)`, mathematically it can be simplified to `max(3em, 3px + 1em)` because `1px + 2em < 3em` when `1em > 1px` and `1px + 2em < 3px + 1em` when `1em < 2px`. So no matter the value of `1em`, `1px + 2em` will be smaller than some of the other expressions.

However, this may not be that trivial to find. And it can get much worse if we have nested functions, especially non-linear like `exp()` or non-continuous like `round()`.
