Math proposal: Should incompatible units output CSS clamp() without error?

Similar to proposals for min()/max() and calc() –  clamp() needs to allow for values that would be valid CSS, but not valid Sass:

$compatible: clamp(6mm, 3in, 6cm);
$valid-css: clamp(10em, 1fr, 30%);
$also-valid: clamp(12px, 10 * (1vw + 1vh) / 2, 100px);

(The same might be true for hypot() and atan2(), but CSS does restrict the “type” of units combined. I’m not sure if we can follow those same rules…)

The solution to get global min()/max() was quite complex and mostly necessitated out of backwards compatibility. I think the distinction is that, moving forward we want to avoid similarly complex implementations, and instead be more intentional about grouping functionality into modules.

Got it - thanks!
