// _base.less
//
// the base file for dispy's light "sub-theme".
//
// Notes:
// this is used to define mixins (think of them as functions)
// and variables. the mixins are the ".foo () {}" things, vars are
// like "@bar".
//
// (BTW, this will make it a LOT easier to maintain.)
// 
// Dev. Note: the // style comments don't show up at all when
// you "compile" the css (with `lessc`), but css (/**/) comments
// do. i use them to our advantage :).
