/**
 * This plugin derives new css variables from a given set of base variables.
 * A derived css variable has the form --base--operation-argument; meaning that the derived
 * variable has a value that is generated from the base variable "base" by applying "operation"
 * with given "argument".
 * 
 * eg: given the base variable --foo-color: #40E0D0, --foo-color--darker-20 is a css variable
 * derived from foo-color by making it 20% more darker.
 * 
 * All derived variables are added to the :root section.
 * 
 * The actual derivation is done outside the plugin in a callback.
