can i configure the *: child selector to use :where() instead of :is()?

can i configure the *: child selector to use :where(& > *) instead of :is(& > *)?

Nope! It's hardcoded:

tailwindcss/packages/tailwindcss/src/variants.ts

Line 375 in 3f313b4

staticVariant('*', [':is(& > *)'], { compounds: Compounds.Never })

And you can't do

@custom-variant * (:where(& > *));

to override it because the * won't pass variant name validation:

tailwindcss/packages/tailwindcss/src/variants.ts

Line 28 in 3f313b4

export const IS_VALID_VARIANT_NAME = /^@?[a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$/
