Subject: bug#21898: scss-mode font-lock face for variables
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2015 22:37:57 -0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'd like to propose the following change to the scss-mode on master: Use
font-lock-constant-face for SCSS variables.

This may not seem intuitive from a naming perspective, but
font-lock-variable-name-face is already used for CSS properties. That makes
it harder to distinguish between properties and variables.

AFAIK, Sass doesn't even have constants, so I don't see much harm in using
this face. It'd be a less dramatic change for those who have grown used to
variable coloring for CSS properties.

I guess the alternative would be to inherit the property face from
something else, to free up the face for real variables. But then what do we
use for properties? (Inheriting from nothing doesn't look good IMO.)

Attached is the proposed patch.
