>Sass can probably make @+something be converted to @something I agree that some sort of escape hatch could be useful. I'd argue the number of keystrokes is a non-issue, the issue is the cognitive overhead. An escape hatch like this is nice because it's the same for all directives so it becomes just part of the language. It's interesting to note Sass has previously relied on an escape hatch that CSS has provided with the `-` prefix. We were able to take advantage of this even recently with the extra `-` in the prefix for custom properties. Funnily enough the technology aspect of this issue go away with `@-if`. >while @when [..] the mental burden from unfamiliarity. Given that CSS devs have never hard an `if` construct I'd argue that unfamiliarity is moot point, and any one who is familiar `if` constructs would easily grasp an alternative syntax. Plus they get the added bonus but `@when` would be Googleable. -- GitHub Notification of comment by xzyfer Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/112#issuecomment-221879890 using your GitHub account
