The parent selector (&) in expressions causes hanging compilation. #399

Hi,

Trying to compile this code causes the compilator to hang.

.main aside:hover, .sidebar p { background-color: &; }

Glenn's new repo smoothly handles this parsing bug. I'm not really sure what the expected behavior is considering the given syntax wouldn't make much sense to SASS, but regardless the new repo throws a parsing error without any hanging as far as I can tell. It would be nice if SASS was able to point to the problem symbol like for other errors, but it doesn't seem like this is a possibility because & in this situation is parsed at a lower level. The new repo is at https://github.com/glenn2223/vscode-live-sass-compiler and the new extension is downloadable if you search for "Live SASS Compiler - Glenn Marks" in VSCode.
