Please let's discuss adding logical properties for them in its own issue! The initial proposal is already huge and I suspect the introduction of logical properties may require some separate discussion.

> Have `column-*` and `row-*` get a shortcut `gap-*` (I don't think this causes any issue with the current `gap` property, which can act as a shortcut itself for `gap-*` properties).

This was my initial proposal in [issue #2748](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2748#issuecomment-446758887).

> Add to that `gap-main-*` and `gap-cross-*` that would generally correspond to `column-*` and `row-*` except for `flex-direction: column`, where the axes swap.

I am against adding specific property names as aliases just for one type of layout they're used in, even when "column" and "row" may not make sense in some situations. Note that the properties introduced here are meant to apply to grid, flexbox, multi-column, and table layout.
