Maybe. But at least I learned that if I want something to be widely 
used, I should be quite conservative naming it. A good lesson for a 
****ing mad Finn ;-)

Almost there, but as this script is so small, barely there, faint like a 
whisper, I figured "Psst" would be a fitting name. 
<https://github.com/kasimir-k/Psst>

Now that we got this - in itself very interesting - discussion in 
linguistics and cultural sensitivity out of the way, would anyone have 
thoughts on the script itself?

The aim is to provide the developer with most of the good stuff that 
things like LESS and Sass give, but without creating a new language. And 
this should be achieved in the simplest possible way.

Do you think Psst could/should be simplified further? And do you see any 
pitfalls I've failed to see - is there any damage potential?
