To expand just a little on [@scottkellum’s post](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7379#issuecomment-1170335569), I was wondering if we could utilize a ‘nesting’ unit for math, similar to how we might utilize a [nesting selector](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-nesting-1/#nest-selector) for rules. - This would be a unit for a new `<dimension>`. - The specific naming of the unit — `var`, `n`, `whatever` — is bike-shedding. - Outside Custom Units, it would resolve to a unit-less `<number>`. - e.g. `--step: calc(1rem / .25n)` would be equivalent to `--step: calc(1rem / .25)`. - Within Custom Units, it would resolve to the multiple of its own number and the Custom Unit’s number. - e.g. `12--step` would be equivalent to `calc(1rem / (.25 * 12))`. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jonathantneal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7379#issuecomment-1170367613 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
