Considering module "Values and units", I would like to propose the
following.
When creating webpages, the size of the users' screen can vary greatly.
A common problem is to want a text column e.g. 10em width, but not wider
than the screen (to avoid horizontal scrolling bars).
Similiarly, a scenario for a largest value may be possible, for e.g.
font sizes.
Proposal: in all places where an ordinary value is accepted, support a
syntax like:
smallest(10em, 90%)
largest(4em, 10%)
Example:
.sometext { font-size: largest(80%, 10px) }
