I certainly can, and completely agree. I'd just prefer something more elegant. Calc() is more elegant than TeX (IMO), but 'min-width' is more elegant than both, thus something like 'starting-width' or whatever might be good for when a width is just preferred. As an input. But it doesn't seem to help with flexible margin, though (unless we added 'min-margin', etc., and I don't think there's much appetite for that), so calc() still seems to be needed there at least.
