There's a use counter -
https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/4862 - for
CSSPageRule, but I'm not sure how useful it is, since it will count as long
as someone e.g. iterates over the rules in a style sheet and there happens
to be an @page rule in there. The use is currently at 0.07, but the number
isn't that useful, apart from being an absolute worst-case number.

Here's a constructed problematic case if CSSPageRule suddenly inherits from
CSSGroupingRule:

```
<style>
  @media screen {
    div {
      color: hotpink;
    }
  }
  @page {
    margin: 1in;
    @top-center {
      content: "Header";
    }
  }
</style>
<script>
  for (const rule of document.styleSheets[0].cssRules) {
    if (rule instanceof CSSGroupingRule) {
      // Aha! You're a media rule! (d'oh!)
      // ...
    }
  }
</script>
```

How likely is that, though?

Ah, right. Pretty recent change.

On that note, earlier (some time in 2023), Firefox changed CSSStyleRule to
inherit from CSSGroupingRule -
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8940#issuecomment-1747351690
That sounds like a much riskyisher change, but allegedly it went just fine.

Done. https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/346
