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

> I found that setting `masonry-direction` to define the stacking axis, and grid-template properties to define the grid direction to be much more self-explanatory, easier to remember, and easier to reason about.

@alisonmaher doesn't that go against the property unification (removing `flex-*` and `grid-*` prefix)   that has been happening?

Perhaps this is an opportunity to consider a more generic naming convention, something like `auto-flow` or `direction`, that could be shared across layout models and replace `flex-direction`, `grid-auto-flow` and `masonry-direction`?
This would make it easier for developers (or at least for me) to learn and apply layout concepts consistently.
