Sass-esq variables for standard css dump

[garhbod]

The following code would need altering to suit as I haven't found how your variables/constraints are managed but if you were to set a variable like you would in Sass then have it placed in the CSS dump it would negate the need for any other CSS and only need GSS.

Javascript pulled from gss.js and edited

  StyleSheet.prototype.dumpCSS = function() {
    var css, rule, ruleCSS, _i, _len, _ref;
    css = "";
    _ref = this.rules;
    for (_i = 0, _len = _ref.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
      rule = _ref[_i];
      ruleCSS = rule.dumpCSS();
      if (ruleCSS) {
        css += ruleCSS;
      }
    }
    // for (constraint in constraints) { //loops through the constraints or variables
        _key = 'primary-color'; //constraint.key
        _replace = new RegExp (/\[/.source+_key+/\]/.source, "g");
        _value = '#f0f'; //constraint.value
        css = css.replace(_replace, _value);
    // }
    return css;
  };

Example it would replace in its current state

[primary-color] == '#f0f';

#container {
   color: [primary-color];
}

Thanks for the suggestion. I think the implementation would be different in the branches that are currently being developed.

There's been some discussion about if / when / how we should do this.

I really would appreciate Sass style macros/parametric classes.
