variable in @import statement

[arnaudgaudin]

The lastest version introduced the possibility to "access the value of an abstract property from a string using { } operators" (section "String interpolation" in http://lesscss.org/#-string-interpolation).

But the problem is that it doesn't work in import statements. It would be great to write code such like this :

//define the template
@mainTemplate: "BaseTheme";

//import the template
@import "_templates/@{mainTemplate}/Config/_ConfigTemplateDefault.less";

I don't know if it is possible to resolve this issue, but it would be great !

additionally it would be good if it could be used in selectors

// in vars.less
@themeName: "my-theme";


// somewhere else
// using escaping and interpolation but any syntax that works would be fine by me
~".@{themeName}" {
    .stuff { ... }
}


// produces
.my-theme .stuff { ... }

Is this happening or not happening? It would be really useful.

I would also like to use variables for @import statements. Until support is added, it would be nice to document that variables are not interpreted for import @Statements; I tried numerous variations before finding this issue:

@COMMON-ROOT-DIR: "../../../../../common/trunk";

// All these don't work.
@import "@{COMMON-ROOT-DIR}/css/variables.less";
@import url("@{COMMON-ROOT-DIR}/css/variables.less");
@import `"@{COMMON-ROOT-DIR}" + "/css/variables.less")`;

etc.
