SASS is a CSS pre-processor that enables web developers to make use of CSS
extensions not available in web browsers.  Although it is server-side, the
SASS approach is a directly relevant example as they've implemented both a
mixin and a variable syntax.

You'll note that Dave Hyatt and I have both agreed on that very bug that we
should wait until the CSS WG concludes their discussion before landing any
code.  Think of that patch more as a proof-of-concept that demonstrates the
amount of effort required to implement the feature and allows people to play
around with the idea if they're keen.
