Well, "unicode-range: a z;", given his suggested grammar.  (Again,
don't try and invent microsyntaxes using dashes.  They parse weird.)

Eh, I use the same thing for @counter-style.  It reads nicely.  But
granted, it's not quite as important here, where you're less likely to
get 26 strings in a row.

Not if they're defined to only be single-character.  Then
multi-character keywords would still be available for the language to
use.
