Description

Hey there, since I started using this framework I always got "stopped" when setting a text-shadow because instead of having the convenience of stepped --shadow-* variables, I always have to "craft" the text-shadow myself. I find them incredibly useful for making text on an image more legible. I feel like it should be as minimal/soft as the normal --shadow values, maybe without an offset, e.g. 0 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) would be something that I type regularly and that I would like to standardize through the use of this framework.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how the existing shadow * properties are defined in the source code. Locate the file(s) where these custom properties are declared. Determine if there's a generation script or config that produces these variables. Then propose a set of text shadow variables following the same pattern. Ensure the documentation and tests are updated accordingly.
