Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values-5] Add `number()` to coerce string values to numbers (#12145)

There's no way to grab the content of an element as a number, either: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-content/#content-function. There may be others I'm also missing, as I haven't pored over all the specs in full.

If all of those gained ways to retrieve the same values as numbers with units, then that can replace this proposal.
