Selecting current element in Sass

Question

Does Sass have a selector to refer to the element at the current nesting level? That way duplication like this could be avoided:

.something {
    color: red;
    a {
        color: red; // a tags are already styled globally
    }
}

And I could write this instead.

.something {
    self, a {
        color: red;
    }
}

Answer 1

There is a good new feature in the Sass 3.3 - @at_root

.something {
    &, a {
        color: red;
    }
 }

More variants of using this feature you can find here:
