Makes sense.  One thing that occurred to me now that I didn't think of
before is:

Is this backwards compatible, and is that something we need to care
about?  I know that some (many?) themes are also distributed outside of
Emacs, and should work under a range of Emacs versions.  I don't think
extending `deftheme' in this way would be backwards compatible, though,
even if it makes sense from a language design point of view.
