Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] Math Constant phi for Golden Ratio (#4702)

> For you, it might.

No, my argument is that it suffices for everyone.  I don't believe there are common use-cases where an exact value of phi is meaningfully distinguishable from 1.6.  (Unlike pi, where a small difference can result in something *not* being a full circle, etc.)

As with many of your proposed suggestions, use-cases would be appreciated; some things I can come up with reasonable justifications for on my own, but for everything else I'm going to reject unless someone brings up a good use-case for it.

(If people want to generate maximally-dense spirals, for instance, an exact value of phi is worthwhile, and very noticeably different from 1.6. Evidence that this is useful in CSS would be appreciated.)

FWIW, I suspect this is the case.
