Description

According to [this video](https://youtu.be/omASiF85JzI?t=7m14s), the Polymer team at Google has been working with the CSS standards body to add the ability to `@apply` a group of properties, as you would `@include` a Sass `@mixin`.

Here's the syntax:

```
--ui-message-header-theme: {
color: #297187;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: 700;
margin-bottom: 7px;
};
.header {
@apply(--ui-message-header-theme)
}
```

If I were interested in using this functionality, do you think it would make sense to add it here, or to a different plugin, or should it be a separate plugin?

Cheers.
