[RFC] Alternatives to Awkward Variant Modifiers

Feature Request

Problem description

In Semantic UI V1 we supported modifiers/variants such as:

<Button basic />        // this is cool
<Button basic="very" /> // this is not

The problem with this is that it's extremely unintuitive, reads awkwardly, and overloads what should be a boolean or otherwise mutually exclusive property (basic).

Proposed solution

This issue is designed to encourage conversation around alternatives to this problem. One simple idea would be to support something like:

<Button basic />
<Button veryBasic />

Better ideas are encouraged.

We are dealing with this on a case by case basis. The agreement is to not have any property-value pairs that make for awkward english reading.
