[theme-reviewers] Prefixing Functions (for libraries)

[Chip Bennett]

Why would a library be exempted? Its functions wind up in the run-time just
the same as any other function, and thus would have the same opportunity for
naming conflicts.

(And in this case in particular, the non-prefixed function names are
sufficiently generic as to have a high chance of such conflicts:
remove_generator_link(), include_all(), get_profile_uri(),
add_lightbox_rel(), etc.)
