@Awesomecloud Naming is typically decided at the end, all features are proposed with an implied "name to be bikeshedded".

The problem with such a generic conditional is — as usual — cycles.

Consider this:

```
.my-input {
 @if (env(width) > 768px) {
  width: 700px;
 }
}
```

Also, with such generic expressions, there are ambiguities. E.g. what does `@if (calc(env(width) + env(height)) > 100%)` mean, since percentages mean different things in each property?
