I think it is far from clear whether or not "some future grouping solution" would be able to make a difference here, by splitting the parentheses of a pseudo-element onto two lines in order to group multiple different selectors within the parentheses into their own lines between the parentheses. This is the only case where that would be needed, isn't it?
