Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-conditional] choose names for keyword-based feature queries in @supports and names for initial set of queries (#9875)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-conditional] choose names for keyword-based feature queries in @supports and names for initial set of queries`, and agreed to the following:

* ``RESOLVED: use `named-feature()` as the function name``
* ``RESOLVED: call the keyword `align-content-on-display-block` ``

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: About six months ago we had a discussion about adding a mechanism for one-off things in @supports that don't have an existing structure to fit in<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: To solve some known problems that would otherwise be complicated to deal with.<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: We resolved to do it, but not on what to call the things<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: I opened an issue about naming, it has not had much discussion, but I have proposed names in the issue<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: There was a bunch of disagreement about naming the last time we discussed it<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: It seems like the sort of thing that might be easier in an issue but nobody was commenting, so telcon it is<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: proposal is to call the query fucntion `feature()`<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: And calling the feature for css alignment on blocks as `align-content-on-display-block`<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: I'm okay with resolving today or taking it back to the issue, as long as someone actually comments in the issue<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: The bit that's possibly not changeable is...<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: It just might be less useful because the thing we want to detect has already been shipping for a while. So might not be useful/accurate.<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: I agree with the commenter that feature() isn't great, think named-feature() is slightly better. but don't have a strong opinion.<br>
&lt;kizu> +1<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: But since this isn't meant to be a very used feature, I think a longer name is fine<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: fine with named-feature()<br>
&lt;miriam> q+<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> No opinion from me; lean slightly toward just feature(). keyword seems fine<br>
&lt;astearns> ack miriam<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> miriam: I think this is useful, having it matters more to me than bikeshedding it. happy with these proposed names<br>
&lt;schenney> q+<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> schenney: I'm in favor of named-feature(), makes it clear you're looking for a special name<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: We can reoslve on named-feature() and see if anyone complains afterward<br>
&lt;astearns> ack schenney<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: proposed resolution is to use named-feature()<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> RESOLVED: use `named-feature()` as the function name<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: do you want a resolution on the keyword too?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> dbaron: We shoudl resolve on th ename, then figure out if we still want it<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: Proposed resolution: call the keyword `align-content-on-display-block`<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> RESOLVED: call the keyword `align-content-on-display-block`<br>
