Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] Allow naming grid rows and columns and allow a grid item to span named grid areas/rows/columns... (#4892)

I don't understand how your example works, but it seems to work for me...hard to understand for me, personally, however. I associate the `/` symbol with using grid-lines, but since this is for grid-area, I don't see how lines are associated conceptually.

maybe something like this for spanning multiple grid-areas?

```css
grid-area: B2 - C4;
```

...as writing everything twice feels rather odd and unintuitive, at least to me. But also it makes sense that I am specifying using the `/` because the property is 'grid-area' so i would naturally understand that this syntax would mean from one area to another area. But since it's at least possible, then it's not as big a deal to me.

As for your second example showing how to name grid rows and columns, I must admit that I don't follow it at all. Are there any resources that explain this in more detail?
