+Common base styles for the design system. These styles don't change based on your configured
 colors, typography, or density, so they only need to be included once per application. These
 mixins include structural styles such as border-radius, border-width, etc. All components have a base
 mixin that can be used to include its base styles. (For example,
 `@include mat.checkbox-base($theme)`)
