    1. You know how JS and Sass throw errors when you forget to define a variable? "x" is not defined or Undefined variable: "$x"? CSS doesn't - and it can be super useful to leave custom properties undeclared. It creates an open parameter, to be inherited from context.

    I've started calling those "exposed variables" - and I think of them like the CSS version of a function/mixin parameter that accepts arguments. But I'm wondering if there's a more established CS term for using variables that have not been declared?
