Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3] if using `display` we should provide examples for `inline grid-lanes`, and include the `inline-grid-lanes` legacy fallback (#10961)

Exactly, there are four legacy keywords in [CSS Display](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#legacy-display) for `display`, all stating with ` inline-` and one of which is not simply “substitute hyphen by space”, but there are also other keywords that expand to multiple ones of which one is `inline`. I’d say that teaching/learning/understanding this is already complex and not at all helped by yet another alias. 

~~~~ css
display: inline;
display: inline flow;

display: inline-block;
display: inline flow-root;

display: inline-table;
display: inline table;

display: inline-flex;
display: inline flex;

display: inline-grid;
display: inline grid;

display:        ruby;
display: inline ruby;

display: inline      list-item;
display: inline flow list-item;

display: /* ./. */;
display: inline grid-lanes;
