Description
This idea was already introduced by @jensimmons long time ago at TPAC 2016: https://speakerdeck.com/jensimmons/proposal-to-csswg-sept-2016?slide=51
But I'm just reporting the issue here to track it for future work/proposals around CSS Grid Layout.
I guess it'd be nice to have some kind of syntax that allows us to mark some cells as busy (even without the need to place there empty dummy elements), and the auto-placement algorithm would skip them.
Of course we need to think also in a syntax, so we can refer to a list of cells not a single one.

Research direction
Start with the issue description and the linked TPAC 2016 proposal, especially slide 51, to understand the earlier CSS Grid idea. The work is not implementation-ready: done would require an agreed syntax for marking one or more cells busy and a defined change to the auto-placement algorithm.
