Max average selector complexity

Prevent the average selector complexity from exceeding a predefined maximum.

a b c {} a {} b {}
/*  ↑
*   complexity of all selectors counts towards the average */

This rule calculates the average complexity of all selectors in the stylesheet. This is different from specificity since :where(a b c d) has specificity [0, 0, 0] but is pretty complex.

Options
