None of these are really workable, unfortunately.  They're all
variants on the older idea of global variables/macros, like what SASS
currently has.  Current CSS vars are scoped to elements and inherit
down the element-tree, which adds some decent complexity but also
opens up some very attractive features.  This isn't replicable with
anything like the old approach.
