I've been hoping for some sort of name scoping for a while but I'd rather have lexical scoping where a name is local to a file or block of CSS code, rather than certain parts of the document.
In its most basic form, this could be implemented by just prefixing any names found within a scope:
```css
@layer has-local-name {
@local --color; /* scoped to the layer */
/* gets turned into --internal-prefix-color */
:root { color: var(--color) }
}
:root {
--color: red; /* does nothing because plain `--color` isn't used anywhere */
}
```
A neat side effect here is that this could be done entirely by a preprocessor so it could be used in production a lot sooner.
