Support Tailwind CSS v2.1.0

[ben-rogerson]

Time to bring twin up-to-date with tailwindcss 2.1.0!

Update: I've finished adding all the classes, just gotta add a couple of patches to the list and I'll push all of this out in the next twin release.

Coming soon

Arbitrary value support

There is no current support for custom tailwind class values - but it will be added to twin:

<button tw="bg-[#1da1f1]" /> // support coming soon

For now, use twin's short css feature that allows any css properties to be added:

<div tw="background-color[#1da1f1]" />

Built-in important modifier

Twin already supports a! added at the end of the class.
I'm going to add support for the same syntax tailwind uses (! at the front):

<div tw="font-bold !font-medium" /> // support coming soon

Hey, thank you for being so quick on that!

I was wondering how twin was going to manage the new JIT feature.
You say that it's not required because there is already short css, right?

But maybe allowing the 2 ways would be nice?
It would also produce a smaller code, and more clear in some cases:
tw="mt-16 lg:mt-[240px]" might be more clear that it's the same property being changed then tw="mt-16 lg:margin-top-[240px]" ?

Hey @ben-rogerson, what would you think about the idea about a "polyfill" tailwind-plugin for new tailwind-features for the time between new tailwind-releases and the next twin.macro version containing these features?

I'm certain this wouldn't be possible for every feature but I'm interested in hearing any ideas.

Update to twin.macro@2.4.0 to use the new classes above 🎉
