Hello Eli,

Can you please outline what are the requirements and general
functionality of such a 'require-theme' function?  I wish to give it a
try, though I can only do so in Elisp, whereas 'require' is in C...

If there is some source code or documentation I could consult, please
point me to it.

My intent is to address this issue and then share with you the
forthcoming 1.2.0 version of my themes.

Thanks again for your time and efforts!
Protesilaos
