The `extend` feature can be thought of as the _inverse_ of mixins. It accomplishes the goal of "borrowing styles", but rather than copying all the rules of _Selector A_ over to _Selector B_, `extend` copies the name of the _inheriting selector_ (_Selector B_) over to the _extending selector_ (_Selector A_). So continuing with the example used for [mixins](#mixins) above, extend works like this:

```less
// Variables
@link-color: #428bca;

.link {
