This focus of this launch is Display Cutout and we want to launch part of 
CSS env() to provide backwards compatability in terms of what Safari has 
already shipped for the iPhone X.

The full spec for CSS env() has a lot more functionality that is still 
being worked out and that is out of scope for this 'lite' launch of env().

In terms of a list of all the variable names there is an issue here that is 
working on defining a list: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2630
