This is a long-shot, not well thought-through - but is there a way for named-group declarations to be available as a form of name-spaced custom property. I don't think this would provide actual new functionality, but some syntax shortcuts for name-spacing and declaring a custom/standard property at the same time:

```css
.now {
  --base-padding: 1em;
  padding: var(--base-padding);

  --color-primary: teal;
  --color-secondary: hotPink;
}

.groups {
  @group --base {
    padding: 1em;
  }

  @group --color {
    --primary: teal;
    --secondary: hotPink;    
  }
  
  .access {
    margin: var(--base.padding);
    border-color: var(--color.--primary);
  }
}
```

(Hope I'm not straying too far from the question at hand - but it seems like an otherwise-useful rule might help with WebKit's concerns?)
