Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-backgrounds-4] Use cases for corner-shape (#6980)

some observations from this so far:

- no use of `border-image`
 - This aligns with my general experience that most web Devs still don't seem to know that `border-image` is a thing. 
 - Or they know about it but think it's super complicated and therefore avoid it (may have never even tried it).
- little use of `clip-path`
 - honestly always more fiddly than you think it'll be
 - mostly have to use a generator (like clippy - https://bennettfeely.com/clippy/ ) at least for starters
 - `calc(100% - var())` to be responsive
 - if you've never used it and check support it's honestly kinda confusing because of how piece meal browser implementation was

- in both above cases you have to draw out the entire shape excluding the corner shape(s) you want. Which feels like using a hammer to put a thumb-tack in a cork-board.
 - This is the opposite of the corner-shape/border-radius approach where you would deal with just the corners.

- devs will still work really hard (sometime to extremes) to not download an image.
