At-rule API

Although it might get deprecated at some point.
The recommended API is the pseudo-selectors one.

@at-least count [, selector] { ... }

@at-most count [, selector] { ... }

@between start end [, selector] { ... }

@exactly count [, selector] { ... }

ul > li {
  @at-least 4 span {
    color: rebeccapurple;
  }
}
 
ul > li {
  @between 4 6 {
    color: rebeccapurple;
  }
}
