How to use @source not inline to remove all ml-* (and related) classes?

[babakfp]

@source not inline("ml");
@source not inline("ml*");
@source not inline("ml-");
@source not inline("ml-*");
@source not inline("ml-{}");
@source not inline("ml-{*}");

How does this work?

@source not inline("ml-8");

works but that won't do for what I'm trying to do.

You could do something like this. Explanation:

{,-}ml-{0..9999}{,.{25,5,75}}
 ↑        ↑          ↑
 |        |   Integers and `0.25` increments.
 |        |
 |  From 0 to high number.
 |
Means no prefix, or `-` prefix.

Caveats:

• Does not account for named theme tokens that are not numerical.
• Does not account for arbitrary values.
• Does not account for infinitely high (or low) value, i.e. ml-1234567. Increase the 9999 number to increase coverage.

thank you ❤️.

why are they not adding a proper way to do this? why use a crappy made up syntax to poorly do something? why did they not made things modular instead? this just sucks.
