But wouldn't it be "semantically bad" to, for example, overload "red"
with your favorite green? Variables (or constants, if you want) would
really be better, then...
But doesn't CSS already have variables, for the counters? Wouldn't it be
easy to do something likewise for "real" variables? Like:
@define menucolor { value: #f00; }
#menu { color: value-of(menucolor); }
