Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] random() function (#2826) from Brandon McConnell via GitHub on 2023-01-25 (public-css-archive@w3.org from January 2023)

One question with either approach— if someone wants to populate some items into their list that are contained in a variable, is there a way to spread them into the `random` function to distinguish whether the CS variable itself is a value or the items it contains are?

For example, how would this be treated:

```css
* {
  --multiple-items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5;
  --single-item: 6;
  some-prop: random-item(var(--multiple-items), var(--multiple-items));
}
```

Would this return either (`1, 2, 3, 4, 5`) or (`6`), or any of those 6 values: `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, or `6`?
