Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-backgrounds] border-radius with a circular edge (#6467)

While I don’t want the request for a semantic value to get confused with bikeshedding a specific keyword solution, I hope it will be helpful to share something I’ve learned. Having reviewed the specification for `corner-shape` in [css-backgrounds-4](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-4/#corner-shaping), I now think `border-radius` would need a keyword that somehow describes the radii without describing its _shape_.

Here is an example of using `border-radius` and `corner-shape` from the current specification:

```css
a {
  border-radius: .3em .8em .8em .3em / .3em 50% 50% .3em;
  corner-shape: round angle angle round;
  padding: .5em 1em .5em .5em;
}
```

I think it would be confusing to write `border-radius: round; corner-shape: angle`. Therefore, a better term might be something like `fill`, `quarter`, etc.
