No.  What I'm trying to address is that it is harder to implement a
custom theme engine than it is to implement `revert-to-tradition'.

Note that the idea of a custom theme is at least a decade old with
(rotten13 "Full Ack") success to show.  My idea is simple enough that
in the few hours since I posted it it has already been implemented,
and I'm willing to bet (not having looked at it) that even I will
consider it a pretty faithful implementation. ;-)
