Thanks Nathan, I appreciate that start-of-line syntax must make things very complicated, so it is probably not worth doing. You're right, it's not a huge imposition to have to type out @extend.
If it is possible though, I don't think you should worry about Sass becoming a mess of symbols. People will not have to memorise them because of the newer, alternative syntax, but people who prefer to keep things short can use the shortcut symbols if they wish. cheers, DAZ ps - what does : at the beginning of a line do?
