 In that case, as `v()`’s purpose is to increase readability and bring some coolness ✌️ in the assignment of CSS custom properties, one may favor sticking to the standard syntax (`var(--propName)`) instead of insulting `v()` by putting it in an even more uncool syntax (`#{v(propName)}`).
 
+### `--` is a valid custom property name
+
+It turns out that [`--` is a valid name for a CSS custom property](https://twitter.com/alexzaworski/status/1127688935541338112).

+Declaring and using it is all about edge cases:
+```scss
+.my-class-with-weird-declarations {
+  --: .5; // error 🚫, expected "}", was "--: 0.5;"
+  --#{''}: .5; // correct ✅
+  #{'--'}: .5; // also correct ✅
+
+  opacity: var(--); // error 🚫, Invalid CSS after "var(--": expected expression (e.g. 1px, bold), was ");"
+  opacity: var(#{'--'}); // correct ✅
+  opacity: v(); // correct ✅, thanks to v() coolness ✌️
