Consider merging https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/bdbfdcc73187f8d43216148495a51ab725487609

Developers can now write C++ functions code like the following instead of manually branching on the identifier length and on the characters appearing at each position.

SWITCH(characters, nameLength) {
  CASE("skew(") { ... }
  CASE("scale(") { .. }
  CASE("skewx(") { .. }
}

Code generation expands the SWITCH into nested branching statements.

We adopted CSS Parser from Blink, so I think this might not be needed.
