Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3] Masonry Switch Syntax (#12022)

> Do we actually use the word "stack" to refer to z-index stuff today? Particularly in author-facing API (rather than just in spec text)?

Not sure all of these are "today" here are some examples that seem recent at first glance, where the concept is a z-index stack (or a collection of widgets where exactly one is in the foreground):

GTKStack: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/class.Stack.html
"Shows one of its children at a time."

Qt QStackedLayout: https://www.pythonguis.com/tutorials/pyqt6-layouts/ , https://docs.rs/qt_widgets/latest/qt_widgets/struct.QStackedLayout.html
"provides a stack of widgets where only one widget is visible at a time."

Flutter's stack class: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/Stack-class.html
"Using a Stack you can position widgets over one another."

 IBM Business Automation Workflow: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/baw/25.0.0?topic=toolkit-stack
"Enables you to organize other views in tabs, but displays only one tab at a time"
