Description
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-shapes/#supported-basic-shapes
Currently inset(), xywh() and rect() allow an optional border-radius like syntax for rounding the corners of the rectangle. I'm proposing adding the other corner-shape options from https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-4/#corner-shaping and their combination to this.
clip-path: inset(0 round 16px);
clip-path: inset(0 bevel 16px);
clip-path: inset(0 round bevel 16px);
clip-path: inset(0 round scoop 16px / 8px);
A common pattern to see for non-bordered angled corners right now is this:
clip-path:
polygon(
16px 0,
calc(100% - 16px) 0,
100% 16px,
100% calc(100% - 16px),
calc(100% - 16px) 100%,
16px 100%,
0 calc(100% - 16px),
0 16px);
Which would get replaced with this:
clip-path: inset(0 bevel 16px);

Start by reading the CSS Shapes supported basic shapes section and the CSS Backgrounds corner-shaping section linked in the issue. Compare the proposed inset(), xywh(), and rect() examples with the existing syntax and determine the required specification changes. Done means the additional corner-shape options and their combinations are defined consistently for these functions.
