I suggest renaming

   - grid-flow to grid-auto-add
   - grid-column-sizing to grid-auto-columns
   - grid-row-sizing to grid-auto-rows

resulting in

   grid-auto-add: none | rows | columns
   grid-auto-columns: <size of automatically-added columns>
   grid-auto-rows:    <size of automatically-added rows>

This has the following benefits:

   - makes the first property's function much more obvious
     (What does 'grid-auto-add: rows' do? It automatically
     adds rows!)

   - makes the relationship amongst the three and the fact
     that they play a role in automatic placement explicit
     (All of grid-auto-* does automatic grid stuff.)

   - draws a closer relation between 'grid-auto-columns'
     and 'grid-columns' / 'grid-auto-rows' and 'grid-rows'
     by making their names match
