What is the purpose/benefit of the @tailwind directive?

[browner12]

As best I can tell, @tailwind is serving the same purpose as @import. Maybe it's doing some auto path resolution? Maybe it's auto appending the 'screen' section? It's hard to tell, and it's causing some confusion.

Could we get some clarification, and maybe add an explanation of the differences between the two to the docs?

Thanks!

You can find some explanation in the installation guide on why those two exist: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation#add-tailwind-to-your-css

Thanks, but I was hoping for a more in-depth explanation than that.
