I don't have a problem with a change to the core syntax, if it is a
change that makes sense. But if it does matter, we could go with
something more conforming, like this:
div {
background-color: blue;
var-group: $complex-variable;
color:white;
}
Not sure we need the dollar sign there any more though with that.
