Variables behind a @forward aren't configurable through an @import

If a library like the following:

// _library.scss (original)
$lib-color: red !default;
a { color: $lib-color; }

removes the lib- prefix when migrating to the module system, it will add an import-only stylesheet like so to preserve the manually prefixed names for downstream users still using @import.

// _library.scss (migrated)
$color: red !default;
a { color: $color; }

// _library.import.scss
@forward "library" as lib-*;

But this currently breaks downstream stylesheets like:

// downstream.scss
$lib-color: green;
@import "library";

which compiled to a { color: green; } prior to migration and a {color: red; } after.

It seems like this is due to @import-style configuration not propagating through a @forward.

The proposal has landed! Since it's narrowly scoped and blocking work on migrating existing libraries, I'm going to limit the call for comments to one week unless any major issues get raised.

Since no one has raised any issues, I'm officially marking this proposal as accepted.

Closing this out because LibSass is now deprecated and we aren't expecting to add any additional features to it.
