Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-syntax-3] The `+` in `<an+b>` confuses parsing tools (#9473)

Question about bikeshedding: as we're getting further away from the actual form of the notation "2n+1", it's getting more confusing to refer to the notation. An+B was somewhat understandable, because it pattern-matches against the notation. But `<an-b>` just seems like weird 1970s computer garbage naming.

Some possible replacements:

* `<An-B>` at least helps it parse as three components (a, n, b), rather than two (an, b).
* `<ith>` or `<index>` or something like that
* other ideas?
