Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-anchor-position-1] allow anchor() within shape() (#13716)

Yeah I assume an anchor() would be usable in place of any X or Y component, choosing the appropriate axis. If you want to use X and Y both from a single anchor you'd have to repeat the `anchor()` function for both coords.

> caveat here being I have no idea how one would extract an X or Y component from what I guess I would call a Vector of an anchor position, should that even be necessary.

Note that `anchor()` doesn't resolve to a vector or 2d position, it resolves to a horizontal *or* vertical offset from the edge of the positioning container to the desired edge of the anchor; whatever value would be needed to align the two desired edges. So it's straightforward to use here.
