Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Channel clipping breaks author expectations, especially when using 'perceptually uniform' spaces (#9449)

@sh1boot's comment above reminds me that regardless of what we do by default, it would be useful to have syntax for customizing _how_ gamut mapping happens, e.g. what is prioritized. This could also provide an escape hatch for color manipulations now, since it can presumably be implemented sooner. I have recently tried to hack gamut mapping via relative color syntax, and the hooks I had to jump through would make anyone here cry.

Given how long implementations have shipped without gamut mapping, we also need a way for authors to detect it. I'm not yet sure what that could be, but I'm throwing it out there in case others have ideas.
