No, it's a respectable point and I appreciate it.  Besides, my original
intent was to change how themes are loaded, not how their libraries are
quoted; I simply got carried away, and I'm sure there's precedent on the
latter elsewhere.  Let me know whether any heart stabs remain in the
last patchset and I'll gladly revert them.
