In general, I'm nervous about features that "shouldn't be turned on by
default." It just seems like unnecessary feature bloat. Especially since
this feature doesn't add any power... merging a block doesn't cause the
result to change at all.
I'm also confused why you'd want the CSS output to diverge so much from
the Sass input. If it's clearer to write different body attributes in
different places, then it'll probably be clearer to read it, too.
