All of LESS documentation is pretty straightforward except for this:

```
@fnord: "I am fnord.";
@var: 'fnord';
content: @@var;
```

This apparently compiles to:
```content: "I am fnord.";```

The example is extremely confusing because of the 3 references to the word 'fnord'. Just what is referencing what? Can this example be rewritten with less ambiguous naming? It looks like a promising feature, but I've never used it because I never understood what this piece meant.
