I'm coming from a blueprint background, so maybe my impression of what a compass plugin should be is skewed, but I always thought the point of compass + grid was to do things like this (using bootstrap terminology):

#sidebar
+span(4)
#content
+offset(4)
+span(8)

as opposed to hard-coding it in the HTML like this:

If I wanted the latter, what advantage does compass provide over a plain scss/sass-based approach?

The previous version of this project had a +columns mixin I was using which I will probably just redefine, but am I crazy? Has the use case for compass changed, or is this an oversight?
