Imagine you are displaying a list of user avatars in a forum application. Every avatar shares certain static CSS, like `width: 40px` and `border-radius: 50%`, but the avatar image is set via a `background-style` rule whose value is different for each avatar. If you pass all of this CSS through the CSS prop, you'll end up with a lot of nearly-duplicate CSS in the document. With 3 avatars, Emotion will create something like:
