Cool! While reviewing some @supports tests just a few weeks ago I in fact
wondered about the same thing. We tend to have long names and they're not
always that easy to remember or use. And @supports corresponds to
CSS.supports() sure sounds much nicer than supportsCSS(). And it's not
like we have too few functions hanging directly off window.
Another benefit is that with a CSS top-level object, you can expand that
in your debugger and hopefully get some relevant "documentation" right
there, instead of looking for functions with "CSS" in them on window.
FWIW I really like it.
