As I replied to @Loirooriol earlier, this:
```css
sufficiently general selector {
padding: var(--foo);
}
.foo {
--foo: 10px;
}
```
Is *not* equivalent to:
```css
.foo {
--shorthand-with-padding: 10px;
}
```
In the former, if *anything*, even with the tiniest specificity overrides `padding`, no amount of setting `--foo` to anything will affect the padding, whereas in the latter, the declaration will expand to something that includes `padding`, and can override other `padding` declarations.
