[csswg-drafts] [css-pseudo][css-writing-modes] Should we have `:writing-mode()` pseudo selector? (#12939)

== [css-pseudo][css-writing-modes] Should we have `:writing-mode()` pseudo selector? ==
It is useful to have a `:writing-mode()` selector to style vertical controls, just like `:dir()` pseudo selector.

Example:

```css
div {
    translate: 20px;

    &:dir(rtl) {
        translate: -20px;
    }

    &:writing-mode(vertical-rl),
    &:writing-mode(vertical-lr) {
        translate: 0 20px;
    }
}
```
