Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values]: Expose `n` as a `<calc-constant>` (#8981)

It’s what @tabatkins said:

> Exposing a way to access the sibling index of an element is theoretically possible, but would need to be done directly via some new function.

~~~~ css
dt::after {
  content: concat("I’m the ", n, "th of ", cousins, " elements, but the ", m ,"th of ", siblings, " defined terms.");
}
~~~~

… assuming a `calc()`-like string function. Otherwise, I assume `var()` could be reused:

~~~~ css
dt::after {
  content: "I’m the " var(n) "th of " var(cousins) " elements, but the " var(m) "th of " var(siblings) " defined terms.";
}
~~~~
