Yeah. That. For any case you can come up with, somebody will be able
to come up with a reason to do it a different way.

Should be in a recommended, I'd say. Or best practice. Or whatever you
want to call it. But yeah, the theme-slug should be your prefix, and
everything that should be "unique" to the theme should be prefixed. Or
in a class-as-namespace structure.
