Support repeating in ASCII syntax

Basic idea
It'd come in handy if Grassy allowed to repeat rows "forever", instead of forcing a full spec declaration. For example, a simple alternating layout such as the following will work only for 1, 2, 3 or 4 elements. The fifth element would not styled at all.
x-x x
x x-x
The grid
mixin should accept a parameter $repeat
, which can be set to true
.
Extending the idea
However, it's not always desirable to repeat the whole layout. Consider this.
x-x-x
x x-x
x-x x
We might want to repeat the last two rows "forever". Something like $repeat-last: 2
.
Thinking further
Of course, this begs for $repeat-first
, or even $repeat: from 2 to 4
in cases like the following:
x-x-x
x x-x
x-x x
x-x-x
This would make sure that the first and last elements are always spanning across the whole grid, while the middle ones are alternating. However, even such a simple case would have too many edge cases to consider, which would have to be configurable in order to be sued properly:
- What if there is only 1 element? 2?
- How to even-out "dangling" elements?
This needs very careful consideration, so I'll open a new issue for this after the basic case is done first.
