When using an opacity modifier such as `bg-black/[var(--opacity)]`, then
this was translated to:
```css
.bg-black\/\[var\(--opacity\)\] {
background-color: color-mix( in oklch, var(--color-black, #000) calc(var(--opacity) * 100%), transparent);
}
```
The issue is that this part: `calc(var(--opacity) * 100%)` is invalid
_if_ the `var(--opacity)` already contains a percentage value. See: https://play.tailwindcss.com/xz0tv5rbFF
This is because this eventually resolves to `calc(20% * 100%)` and `20%
* 100%` is invalid in CSS.
In Catalyst we use variables like that _with_ the `%` included, which
means that v4 doesn't work as expected when using this.
A variable with a `%` included is probably the better value to support
compared to the the unit less one. This also allows you to define your
variables using `@property` as a proper `<percentage>` type.
Unfortunately the `var(--opacity)` is a value that can change at
runtime, so we don't know the type at compile time.
In the future we might be able to use `first-valid(…)` (see: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-5/#first-valid)
and generate both versions at the same time.
