 If the current theme can't be found or is renamed, the front-end of the
 site will white screen. This is developer error, as when WP_USE_THEMES is
 true, the template loader should always have a template to load (as far as
 I understand).

 It's rare, but I come across it every once in a while in developing. It
 might be nice to have a wp_die() if a proper template can't be found in
 template-loader.

 Proof of concept:

 {{{
 if ( $template = apply_filters( 'template_include', $template ) )
         include( $template );
 else
         wp_die("Whoops! Looks like you're missing a theme.");
 }}}
