This feature already exists on the master branch. You can use ruby-style
interpolation escapes like so:
div .#{!foobar}
    :color blue

However, I would recommend that you turn this into a mixin:

=floated-icon(!direction = "left", !margin = 20px)
  !ndirection = "right"
  @if !direction != "left"
    !ndirection = "left"
  :float = !direction
  :margin
    :#{!ndirection}= -!margin


Then you can apply this to your selectors:
img.icon
  +floated-icon("left")
img#logo
  +floated-icon("right")

P.S. For a real world example of some of the newest sass features you can
look at compass's blueprint grid
module<http://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/tree/master/frameworks/blueprint/stylesheets/blueprint/modules/_grid.sass>
.
