Angular 2 emulated view encapsulation gives special meaning to `/deep/` selector. This is true for TS and Dart versions as well. https://webdev.dartlang.org/angular/guide/component-styles#!#special-selectors Expressions such as: ``` :host /deep/ .expected-optional-class { } ```` is valid and is a [recommended](https://github.com/dart-lang/angular2/issues/405#issuecomment-303789004) way to deal with certain use-cases. Would be nice if dart-sass supported it.
