I don't believe it is a good idea trying to make Custom Themes solve
problems that Customize can't solve, such as merging of different
values for options.  Treat that as a problem orthogonal to theme
support, even though theme support makes it more urgent.

I.e. if three active themes all add a function to the the same hook
variable, only the function from the dominating theme will actually be
active.
