Both not tricks, and I can't say I miss them, because I didn't work as web dev at the time. I only witnessed the trailing part of the pain, when I started, there were mostly flexbox-related browser inconsistencies.
Anyway:
cursor: hand !indispensable;
seems vastly superior to
cursor: pointer !important;
And I once came across the CSS "script expressions" out of web history curiosity.
Dangerous but appealing idea.
Seems like every web dev (well, those working on server-rendered markup and without AI, at least) would feel a desire for this at some point, but it was doomed at the time.
In some ways, reminds me of Houdini regarding the CSS->JS coupling (the other direction is already normal, sure).
But the intent behind it was probably just to allow maximum flexibility... well

does look quite funny :)I'd love to hear more from people who actually used this.
