You can already avoid repetitive styles in CSS by judicious use of
selector grouping, e.g.
.blueoutline, .freebie {
border-color: #000099;
border-width: 3px;
border-style: dotted;
}
.freebie {
font-size: 10px;
padding: 4px;
}
My 2c is that you don't get much benefit by building this
functionality into Sass, even if the syntax is slightly nicer. If
nothing else you end up with larger and more repetitive CSS, unless
you engineer Sass to convert your style of "includes" to the CSS style
(i.e. emit a rule for each "module" of properties, using the group of
all selectors that want to "include" it), but again I can't see that
you win much just by changing the syntax slightly.
Cheers,
