Re: [css-variables] CSS Variables are a NEW kind of variable

|
| :root{ def-primarycolor: blue; }
| .x{ background-color: $primarycolor; }
|

This is nearly what I proposed in my June 4 'compromise', the only 
difference being that it don't pass the "the variable name is consistent 
between declaration and retreival" assertion (and that you will never be 
able to reference a framework-provided property in the future even if we 
would like to allow that; also create inconsistencies like in inherit(color) 
vs inherit(def-mycolor) vs $color).

I would not say I dislike it but this is clearly missing an huge opportunity 
and messing things arounds. Seriously, css variables are properties, let's 
consider them as such.
