This syntax should be thought more to be pushed into more-or-less
standard mapcss.
1) it becomes a lot harder to parse. +1 and 1 are considered the same
in most programming languages, so you can't just linearly transform
mapcss into (for example) JSON form, also can't even hold in a single
variable.
2) what should be used for a base for adding and substracting widths?
3) Most of those use-cases are well-covered (IMHO) with casing thing.
