Yes, that works. I'm including an updated patch below. Thanks. CL

Subject: [PATCH] lisp/cus-theme: retain documentation string when 
customizing
 theme

When editing an existing theme using `custom-theme-visit-theme`, the
theme's documentation string would always be discarded and replaced
with "Created DATE."

With this improvement, the existing theme documentation string (if
available) will be presented and editable in the widget, and emitted
in the `deftheme` declaration when saved. A newly-created theme or an
existing theme with no documentation string will get the "Created
DATE" as before.

*Implementation details:* we had to move the chunk marked "Load the
theme settings" earlier in the function `customize-create-theme`. Then
the `custom-theme-description` widget was made an `editable-field`
whose value comes from `theme-documentation` if available, else
`format-time-string`. The rest of the patch is reindentation due to
the larger scope of the let that holds the theme settings.

*Steps to reproduce the issue:*

```
% emacs -Q
M-x custom-theme-visit-theme RET tango RET
```

*Result before this patch:* In the Custom Theme buffer, the
Description field has the text `Created 2021-06-29.` followed by the
editable widget containing the same string a second time.

*Result after this patch:* The Description field has the text "Face
colors using the Tango palette (light background) ..." -- the
documentation string provided to `deftheme` in
`etc/themes/tango-theme.el`.
