Comment (by moonomo):

 Just a note, I had to use `option` instead of `theme_mod` due to this for
 a particular setting. My use case was to introduce some predefined macro
 for user to input for Footer String i.e 'Copyright © %CUR_YEAR%.'.
 Although, it could have #CUR_YEAR# or something else, `theme_mod` went
 crazy for the % without saying anything about it.
