Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] Introducing overlapping cells in grid-template-areas syntax (#2808)

I completely agree with @brob.

The key use case here is that all throughout the site I have been using `grid-template-areas` to do my grid layouts because grid areas are awesome.

I now need to do a fancy overlap effect.

Ok so I start typing `grid-template-areas:` ... 🤔... then I realise I don't know how to do the overlap. 😕

So I look up how to do overlap in `grid-template-areas`... then after a bit of time googling I find out it's not possible 😭

Adding overlap support to areas leads to more consistent CSS code and in most circumstances I think it will also make overlapping CSS Grid cells in CSS code easier to understand and spot.
