+ [KEYWORD VALUE]...
+
+The following KEYWORD's are defined:
+
+:short-description
+ VALUE is a short (one line) description of the theme. If not
+ given, DOC is used.
+:immediate
+ If VALUE is non-nil, variables specified in this theme are set
+ immediately when loading the theme.
+:variable-set-string
+ VALUE is a string used to indicate that a variable takes its
+ setting from this theme. It is passed to FORMAT with the name
+ of the theme as an additional argument. If not given, a
+ generic description is used.
+:variable-reset-string
+ VALUE is a string used in the case a variable has been forced
+ to its value in this theme. It is passed to FORMAT with the
+ name of the theme as an additional argument. If not given, a
+ generic description is used.
+:face-set-string
+ VALUE is a string used to indicate that a face takes its
+ setting from this theme. It is passed to FORMAT with the name
+ of the theme as an additional argument. If not given, a
+ generic description is used.
+:face-reset-string
+ VALUE is a string used in the case a face has been forced to
+ its value in this theme. It is passed to FORMAT with the name
+ of the theme as an additional argument. If not given, a
+ generic description is used.

+;; The variable and face settings of a theme are recorded in
+;; the `theme-settings' property of the theme name.
+;; This property's value is a list of elements, each of the form
+;; (PROP SYMBOL THEME MODE VALUE), where PROP is `theme-value' or `theme-face'
+;; and SYMBOL is the face or variable name.
+;; THEME is the theme name itself; that's redundant, but simplifies things.
+;; MODE is `set' or `reset'.
+;; If MODE is `set', then VALUE is an expression that specifies the
+;; theme's setting for SYMBOL.
+;; If MODE is `reset', then VALUE is another theme,
+;; and it means to use the value from that theme.
+
+;; Each variable has a `theme-value' property that describes all the
+;; settings of enabled themes that apply to it.
+;; Each face name has a `theme-face' property that describes all the
+;; settings of enabled themes that apply to it.
+;; The property value is a list of settings, each with the form
+;; (THEME MODE VALUE). THEME, MODE and VALUE are as above.
+;; Each of these lists is ordered by decreasing theme precedence.
+;; Thus, the first element is always the one that is in effect.
+
+;; Disabling a theme removes its settings from the `theme-value' and
+;; `theme-face' properties, but the theme's own `theme-settings'
+;; property remains unchanged.
+
+;; Loading a theme implicitly enables it. Enabling a theme adds its
+;; settings to the symbols' `theme-value' and `theme-face' properties,
+;; or moves them to the front of those lists if they're already present.
