CSS is overly agressive with brevity hacks which causes readability problems and bugs. It's optimizing for writers not readers.

Too many times I've stared at CSS thinking I was looking at a REGEX-style expression, it was far too baroque.

Easy to fix in this case, just use the & all the time. Will likely prevent a few bugs in the process
