Description

The CLI tool returns an error when parsing the all property assigned the value of a CSS variable:

thread 'main' panicked at src/main.rs:180:46:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Error { kind: ParserError(UnexpectedToken(Function("var"))), loc: Some(ErrorLocation { filename: "src/partials/_all.css", line: 1, column: 7 }) }

The _all.css file includes this content:

[style*="--all"] {
  all: var(--all);
}

The error happens for all types of CSS selectors and all values for the variable name. The only way to stop the error is to change the variable name referenced inside the var() function.

Research direction

Reproduce the panic with src/partials/_all.css, then inspect the failure at src/main.rs:180:46 and trace how the CSS parser handles the all property and var() function. Done means the CLI parses this input without panicking and retains the all: var(--all) declaration.
