Mix doesn't respect hue angle specification

Problem

I was trying to recreate some of the examples from the CSS 5 mixing drafts, as this project seems to be a playground for expressing those ideas, and I realized I could not get mix to recognize the specified angle adjuster to use:

new Color('lch(52% 58.1 22.7)').mix('lch(NaN NaN 257.1)', 1 - 0.7523, {hue: "shorter", space: "lch"});
// lch(52% 58.1 351.6)

new Color('lch(52% 58.1 22.7)').mix('lch(NaN NaN 257.1)', 1 - 0.7523, {hue: "longer", space: "lch"});
// lch(52% 58.1 351.6)

Expectation

In the above examples, I would expect that when longer was used, the return would be:

new Color('lch(52% 58.1 22.7)').mix('lch(NaN NaN 257.1)', 1 - 0.7523, {hue: "longer", space: "lch"});
// lch(52% 58.1 80.761)

I suspect this is unintentional and should be able to replicate such examples in the color 5 spec.

By the way why are you setting L and C to NaN?

Because it works and it is unclear that this wasn’t supposed to be allowed. The code will return the other channel (for any channel) if the other is NaN.

The official docs actually do this, just not directly through the string.

// Two kinds of fade out to transparent
lime.range(new Color("transparent"));
lime.range(new Color(lime.space, [NaN, NaN, NaN], 0), {space: lime.space});

Related, the API documentation for the options object for color.range() does not mention the hue option, although the interpolation docs use it in examples. And when it is not used, the default does not seem to be shorter.
