[selectors-4] Add functional notation to :local-link selector? :local-link(n)?

See -> https://wiki.csswg.org/ideas/current-url-selector

The current link pseudo-class selector would have the following pattern: E:current(n) {}

Please read the wiki page linked above, I won't rehash all it has to say here. I am wondering if this was ever shot down and if not, what folks think about it now? Because I cannot help but imagine it as extremely useful, especially keeping in mind the :has() relational pseudo-class allowing a "current" anchors parent element to also be selected.

The key here being, the functional notation as opposed to the the current language of the spec.

Edited - :local-link is the selector in the spec

:local-link(n)?

@Loirooriol oh I forgot seeing it had a new name a while back, but still missing the functional notation for directory depth, which would enable particular breadcrumb and local/external stylings? Maybe I should add "functional notation" to the title?

@jonjohnjohnson This was already proposed, see https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-selectors4-20110929/#local-pseudo It was resolved to simplify the feature as in the current ED.

Sorry, it was resolved to drop it, and then we added the simplified version back. See #2010 :)
