In principle the current implementation doesn't insist on there only
being two variants.  Each theme defines its dual, and these don't have
to be symmetrical.

E.g. in this case one could do:

(put 'gruvbox-dark-hard 'theme-dual 'gruvbox-dark-medium)
(put 'gruvbox-dark-medium 'theme-dual 'gruvbox-dark-soft)
(put 'gruvbox-dark-soft 'theme-dual 'gruvbox-light-hard)
(put 'gruvbox-light-hard 'theme-dual 'gruvbox-light-medium)
(put 'gruvbox-light-medium 'theme-dual 'gruvbox-light-soft)
(put 'gruvbox-light-soft 'theme-dual 'gruvbox-dark-hard)

But wouldn't just associating gruvbox-dark-hard with gruvbox-light-hard,
etc. be just as good?
