Matching multiple pseudo classes

Question

I want to know is there a way to doing something like this in CSS:

.menu a:match(:active:hover:visited)
{ }

instead of

.menu a, .menu a:active, .menu a:hover, .menu a:visited
{ }

Answer 1

If your a have same color for all states so, it's better write like this:

.menu a{
 color:red;
}

instead of

.menu a, .menu a:active, .menu a:hover, .menu a:visited{color:red}

Answer 2

No. There is currently no mechanism to do what you want. You need to list all the selectors in full, as per what you are trying to avoid:

.menu a, .menu a:active, .menu a:hover, .menu a:visited

CSS is currently more like a markup language than a programming language. As Litek notes in the comments, however, :matches:() proposed for CSS4 does exactly what you described (and more).
