Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-syntax][css-shapes] Repeating segments in `shape()` (and perhaps as a generic thing?) (#13862)

> Can't we use the grid repeat() function? Doesn't it already do the same expand+substitution thing we intend?

No, it's specialized to grid purposes, with a specialized syntax and functionality that doesn't make sense for a generic repeater (the auto-fit/auto-fill keywords). Similarly, the Gap Deco version has its own specialized syntax/functionality.

Hmm, do you have an example of where that would be useful? (It would be something we could add later, of course.)
