Oh yes, if style-context makes such things possible, that would be great.

"row-ending-details" is indeed a property that enables richer detail
strings.  I think if we hadn't done it this way, themes would have
broken.  What's the exact plan with such properties?  The properties
are removed and themes will be expected to update to handle the
different and richer detail strings?
