Container media queries

[TomasHubelbauer]

Hi! I'm not sure what's the policy on including proposal-level features in feature requests and the contributing guide doesn't seem to forbid it, so I'd like to propose the inclusion of the container media queries proposal:

Good context article:

I'm fine having it here as a request, however I probably won't be adding it to the site until there's an indication browsers are interested in implementing some form of this specification.

That's a shame, but I do understand and respect where you are coming from. My motivation here is the fact that every time I hit CIU up looking for stuff like this, it'd be helpful to know whether it not coming up in the search means it just wasn't added yet (because it's too early) or because there is no stated browser vendor interest. If there was a way to represent this on the site, that would be cool, but perhaps something like this is too niche and would dilute the scope of the site.

In any case, I appreciate leaving this up as a feature request for if/when browser vendors state and intent to implement.
