Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values-5] What is the MVP for inline conditionals on custom properties? (#10064)

@edbaafi for simple conditionals, maybe `when` could work? seems to fit naturally in this context - "when this condition is true, use this value, otherwise use that value."

for pattern matching, which I think is what you're highlighting as "something better" here, `select` would clearly be problematic, both in an HTML and CSS context - words like `match`, `switch` or `case` might work for that.

but I don't think pattern matching can or should take the place of simple conditionals - they're for a different use case. (you probably don't want your code littered with "pattern matching" expressions with just a single condition and a default.)

(it would be great to have both, but I suspect pattern matching is even more difficult to fit into existing syntax...)
