[request] Shortened versions of @extends, @includes etc

See original GitHub issue

I find that I’m using more and more @includes in my stylesheets which is obviously a great thing, however it feels like a lot of visual noise is added by @include, @extend etc.

I think it would be great for Sass to support alternative shortened versions of these keywords, for example:

@in some-include();
@ex some-base-class;

The indented .sass syntax already has = for @mixin and + for @include.

I believe that other shorthand directives should follow the same pattern.

We need:

@function;
@extend;
@import.

I don’t think that @nex3 and @chriseppstein will accept this because it would make indented Sass kinda cryptic. On the other hand, i use = and + all the time and it’s helping a lot, so…

@dustindowell22 Thanks. We considered the request and explained why we’re not interested in adding this to Sass.
