We made a decision early on that we'd try to avoid things like theme
inheritance because we were afraid that added complexity here would be
difficult to explain to themers. Instead we opted for what I believe to
be a more commonplace theming approach: cut and paste. I figure that it
is trivial for a themer to just make a new variant of a theme with the
one or two changes that they want, and if we make cloning themes really
easy then we'll have a proliferation of simpler themes to work with.
