I'm all for this too. $ makes much more sense than !. Although to be
honest I'm much more excited about the prospect of removing the need
for =.
I've been using the SCSS syntax a bit (which is great by the way - a
massive step in the right direction), but I do get irked by having to
format styles like:
div {border = 1px "solid" !green;}
If I'll soon be able to do:
div {border: 1px solid $green;}
..then my major complain of SASS/SCSS will be dealt with. :)
