Re: [CSS Variables] WebKit now supports variable declaration blocks

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/fast/css/variables/block-cycle-test.html

If a cycle is detected during variable resolution, you just ignore the  
spot that attempts to introduce the cycle.  Therefore the color would  
be red.

$another-complex-variable adds in maroon and then includes $complex- 
variable.  It adds in color:red... the attempt to include $another- 
complex-variable again is ignored because it would create a cycle.
