 @cf8c0364 @c4691757 How do you indicate the parent without the `&` or other symbol?

 @90431d67 @cf8c0364 @c4691757 Similar question. I had been reading that the & operator was there to that you could declare things like:

&:hover
&.foo

I'm *not* saying it should, just saying it *did* and now that seems to be taken away. Or am I misunderstanding this change?

 @957492b3 @90431d67 @c4691757 You *can* still use it for things just like you described. You just don’t *have* to use it anymore for this:

.foo {
  & div { … }
}

 @cf8c0364 @957492b3 @c4691757 Oooooh! I didn’t realize that was going to be a requirement. Glad browsers were able to sort that out.

Thank you! As a UX designer who thinks about coding-syntax-as-design, this feels much cleaner as the core use case, basic nesting, now can look much cleaner. The & character is there for more advanced cases.
