PostCSS Nesting

PostCSS Nesting lets you nest style rules inside each other, following the CSS Nesting specification.

a, b {
  color: red;

  & c, & d {
    color: white;
  }
}

/* becomes */

a, b {
  color: red;
}

a c, a d, b c, b d {
  color: white;
}

NOTICE: In a future version of this project, nesting at-rules like @media may be deprecated, as they are not part of the nesting proposal. In a comment, a CSSWG member expressed interest in handling nested @media while handling selector nesting. So deprecating nested at-rules has been temporarily delayed.
