### Feature Request: Enhanced Responsive Classnames Support

#### Description
I am a developer who heavily utilizes `clsx` along with Tailwind CSS for my projects. The combination of `clsx` and Tailwind CSS is incredibly useful for managing dynamic class names. However, I have found that writing responsive Tailwind class names can be cumbersome and less readable.

#### Current Practice
Currently, I write responsive Tailwind class names like this:
```jsx
className={clsx(
"bg-[#2A2A2A] rounded-[16px] py-[24px] px-[16px]",
"sm:px-[54px] sm:py-[40px] sm:rounded-[16px]",
"md:px-[70px] md:py-[40px] md:rounded-[26px]",
)}
```
This approach works, but it can become difficult to manage and read as the number of responsive breakpoints increases.

#### Proposed Feature

I propose adding support for a more readable and isolated approach to responsive class names, similar to the following:
```jsx
className={clsx(
"bg-[#2A2A2A] rounded-[16px] py-[24px] px-[16px]",
{"px-[54px] py-[40px] rounded-[16px]": "sm"},
{"px-[70px] py-[40px] rounded-[26px]": "md"},
)}
```
or
```jsx
className={clsx(
"bg-[#2A2A2A] rounded-[16px] py-[24px] px-[16px]",
"sm:{px-[54px] py-[40px] rounded-[16px]}",
"md:{px-[70px] py-[40px] rounded-[26px]}"
)}
```
Such formats would allow developers to isolate responsive class names and make the code more readable and maintainable.
I recognize that the maintainers have a deep understanding of the library’s architecture and may know of even more efficient ways to integrate this functionality.

#### Benefits
- Improved readability and maintainability of responsive class names
- Easier isolation of responsive styles for better debugging and testing
- Enhanced developer experience when working with Tailwind CSS and clsx

Thank you for considering this feature request. I believe it would be a valuable addition to clsx, especially for developers who use Tailwind CSS extensively.

Best regards,
