Sassy exponents
// Sass exponent support
@function exponent($base, $exponent)
// reset value
$value: $base
// positive intergers get multiplied
@if $exponent > 1
@for $i from 2 through $exponent
$value: $value * $base
// negitive intergers get divided. A number divided by itself is 1
@if $exponent < 1
@for $i from 0 through -$exponent
$value: $value / $base
// return the last value written
@return ($value)
