Indeed, in my post I use let bindings to achieve this:

let import CSS in [ width (px 50) ]

You could also add other local bindings to your scope:

let import CSS
    sizeInPx = px 50
in [ width sizePx, height sizeInPx ]

(Note that just like let the other bindings have access to the symbols that
were imported)
