Dart Sass Embedded binary during build

[brycewray]

For Sass/SCSS, the Hugo static site generator natively uses the deprecated LibSass implementation, but Hugo 0.80+ can support the recommended Dart Sass implementation if the Dart Sass Embedded binary is in the path. This works fine in development, but obviously needs a host’s cooperation to work in a production build. Any chance Vercel will make this possible? The minimal request is for being able to specify the presence of the Dart Sass Embedded binary; the “nice-to-have” would be the capability to have that binary and specify its version. Presumably, both would involve some sort of environment variable; e.g., either DART_SASS_EMBEDDED = YES or DART_SASS_EMBEDDED = 1.49.9 (that’s the current version at this writing).

Please refer also to this from the Hugo Discourse forum:

Thanks in advance for any consideration this request may receive.

Yes, this would be very much needed and appreciated by me and many.

Any thoughts on this, @leerob ?
