I found plenty of Sass functions to convert ems to px, but didn't find any to do the reverse. So here's what I came up with, and it seems to work so far.
This assumes that the context or base font size is defined in em. It also assumes that you're likely setting font-size: 100% on the html element, which in most cases will result in 16px. That won't always be true, so that's one inherent weakness of this function... but that will be pretty rare. So.
This is also likely to get screwed up if you have multiple em declarations nested inside of each other. That's probably a good thing to avoid in general, though.
Anyhow, any suggestions are welcome.
