@nimbupani do you say it's not consistent because it doesn't take an argument?

I'm not saying that a mixin would be silent, mixins are silent by definition. I'm saying that `@silent` within a mixin could be used to make the base class it is mixed into silent.

The `@extend` directive acts globally on a stylesheet. As such, so does `@silent`. Scoping the application of these directives will be handled in the future by our module system.

re: the 80% assertion, I disagree. That's a good approach for application construction, but not language design. The goal here is to make the common case easy/optimal and the uncommon case possible.
