Namespace imported less code does not get properly referenced, when there's a (reference) keyword.

[CMCDragonkai]

As per the discussion in #1895

This code:

@import (less, reference) "any.css"; //this works as expected
#Namespace {@import (less, reference) "any.css";} //this does not as the reference does not do anything

Works in the sense that there's no syntax error.

However the reference keyword does not do anything. The entire CSS in "any.css" gets imported in the outputted CSS file.

Hrmm yes, by wrapping it you are essentially referencing it. Its a bit hard
to work out because we assume that if a selector to output is merged with a
referenced selector it should be output.

But I agree its a bug, just a difficult one to fix.

Well okay Good Luck. If i may ask: what's the reason in the first place namespaces are defined with a # prefix? as far as i understand now a namespace don't differs from a id selector. Also http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-namespace/ defines namepspaces with @namespace.
