"Parent" selector

[hilliuse]

Any chance there could be a "parent" selector that only goes 1 level up as opposed to the root of the nesting?

Please create an example here: http://less2css.org/, or using GitHub flavored markdown so that we can discuss

Hillius probably talking something about like :root css pseudo selector and actually sometimes it is really good to have something like this to the parents, guess the idea is the opposite nesting nature of CSS and could not be implemented in LESS without working on CSS engine itself

li.somethingNotable {
   color: red;

   &:parent(ul) {
     background: green;
   }
}
