Does plan to implement variant group capabilities?

[eevho]

e.g.:

<div class="hover:red-text-500 hover:bg-blue-500"></div>

<div class="hover:(red-text-500 bg-blue-500)"></div>

Is the DX Better?

There have been suggestions about adding such a feature. The maintainers have addressed this request before, that you may wish to read up on if you have not already done so:

• A Twitter thread from the creator of Tailwind, Adam Wathan
• A previous GitHub discussion thread with maintainer responses

Thank you, I have read all the discussions, and my understanding of the maintenance personnel's considerations is as follows:

1. The consideration on X may be relatively old. If you directly generate a unique class, it will definitely increase the burden. There is no doubt about this
2. Like the argument for introducing the JavaScript runtime, I understand that maintainers consider that multilingual support can be a big hassle because projects using tw but different languages already exist

In addition:

1. Based on the above two points, it is speculated that the maintainer may not have a plan to implement this requirement, but I would still like to take the liberty to ask the maintainer if there is a clear answer to this requirement at present
2. In addition, according to my understanding, tailwindcss4 currently generates static css on demand. Forgive me for not having a deep understanding of the principle of tw. I would like to ask if it is possible to detect the variant group through regular expressions during the scanning process and change it to an extended class when outputting, and then perform the original on-demand generation process according to these classes. Is tw not language-independent? The logic is only detecting strings, but I am not very clear about the language-independent principle of tw. I have no idea how to control the range of strings that need to be detected. If it is all code, the performance may be poor
