+### `implementation`
+
+Type: `Function`
+
+The special `implementation` option determines which implementation of PostCSS to use. Overrides the locally installed `peerDependency` version of `postcss`.
+
+**This option is only really useful for downstream tooling authors to ease the PostCSS 7-to-8 transition.**
+
+**webpack.config.js**
