Research direction

Reproduce the reported build failure with mini-css-extract-plugin and selectors such as [class^="foo"] and [class*="bar"]. Trace how these wildcard attribute selectors are handled by the parser; done means the selectors are supported without the reported build failure and the behavior is covered by a test.

Description

Hello.

My builds, which use the mini-css-extract-plugin, fail when I attempt to use wildcard attribute selectors, like [class^="foo"] or [class*="bar"]. Is this a known issue?
