[V4] automatic namespace detection

[The-Code-Monkey]

Hey, I've been testing out V4 and I'm impressed the only thing I've been a little confused about is the theme function instead of the apply directive, I get the reason for the switch but I don't find it any faster than typing out the CSS variable that tailwind adds, is it possible instead of writing border-radius: theme(borderRadius.lg)

To not be able to type border-radius: theme(lg)

And grab the namespace of border radius from the CSS that's just been read. Otherwise I might as well just write border-radius: var(--borderRadius-lg); as that is the same thing

Obviously if no value is found it should fall back to the current implementation

Hey! Currently v4 doesn't actually support theme but it does support @apply as well as var(--radius-lg). The theme function was never meant to be less typing than var(...), it only existed because historically we didn't generate the variables. The automatic namespace detection idea is neat but I think a bit more clever/magical than I want to be with things going forward at the moment — not saying definitely no forever but no plans to add it at the moment. Thanks for the idea regardless!

Awesome cheers for the reply.
