Currently it seems no browser supports calc() in media queries, but it
should be supported per spec.
Does anyone have examples where calc() in media queries is useful?
Examples of sites that use such breakpoints today (implemented in JS)?
François REMY came up with an example:
> @yoavweiss @zcorpan if you have a fixed size column and want to know
> remaining aspect ratio: (a)media (min-width: calc(100vh + 300px)) {}

...but didn't know of any sites actually doing that today
(https://twitter.com/FremyCompany/status/461072179174854656 ).
On the one hand, it would be "nice" to support calc() everywhere. On the
other hand, resources are limited and it's better if we focus on
supporting things that people really want to do and skip the things that
are only "nice". Therefore I suggest that we disallow calc() in media
queries unless someone comes up with a compelling use case or demonstrates
URLs that would benefit from supporting this.
cheers
