values that should be | accept any string as a value

@frenic I see what you mean, I did not consider calc. However you could allow any string only inside the calc() function.

here is an example: playground

This allows for single values such as paddingRight or up to 4 values such as padding if you use calc() for a value, it will allow any string to be calculated but otherwise enforces correct number/units.

However, the types are becoming too deep. Not sure if that can be fixed. So I can understand this being undesirable.

This would be great! String templates is something that should be introduced. But concerning properties that contains <length> is that calc() is allowed. So even if it uses string templates for <length> it still needs to have "any" string.

Any fresh thoughts on this?

This seems like a nice solution.
