These were introduced in #33511.

@chrisdavidmills minmax is not a mathematical function and I don't think it can be used outside of grids (unless some other spec expanded its usage that I'm not aware of; I don't see it in anchor positioning though). Perhaps you meant max, or perhaps we should just:

1. Remove this minmax() example, since if you change it to min/max, then it's not a primitive construction anymore
2. We definitely should move the two anchor-size() examples down, because they are keyword values, not <length> values
