       | now nearing a year old:
       | 
       | 1. Many people are unable to update to browsers which support the
       | latest features, so developers must continue to practice
       | "defensive CSS" for quite some time yet. Ways to do so include
       | Sass, Lightning CSS, and PostCSS.
       | 
       | 2. For those who know their audience is using updated browsers,
       | be advised the nesting syntax is now more relaxed[0] and, like
       | Sass nesting, generally *doesn't* require the `&` stuff (which
       | *does* still work, though).

       | time direction for optimizations like de-duplication.
