Hieroglyph has supported setting a different theme for specific files in
a presentation since version 0.4. I've just found another case where
using this feature can cause your build to fail[1]. This is in addition
to an open bug for file path collisions[2].

I originally added this feature because I wanted to put full "sections"
of my presentation into separate files, but also wanted the
section-break slides in other parts. Put another way: I added this
because the existing themes (slides and single-level) weren't flexible
enough for the layout I wanted. Since then I've only used the feature
once, and in that case didn't necessarily need it.

I'm considering removing per-file theme setting.

The slides2 theme is much more flexible than the previous themes, and I
think that once that work is done[3], there will be even less of a
reason to have this feature.

Is anyone using this feature? If so, can you let me know how you're
using it? Does anyone have a strong objection to removing it?

Thanks,

NRY
