Why would we want to add any of these virulent examples of bad taste
to a classy project like Geany? ;-P

On the other hand people who use them deserve the seared retinas so why not :-)

My greater concern will be to ensure that replacing all the filedefs
just before release doesn't break anything.

I guess it will have to be an inspection of the diffs in the patch to
check that only the look is changed, since every file is changed.

And also that you haven't snuck in any changes to the default theme. :-)

One thing you need to note is that installing themes by copying
filetypes.* to .config/geany will erase any filetype command settings
you have made.  A problem to fix one day.
