 We've added linting which will stop people from causing fatal errors when
 editing a theme but can we do something similar when they install the
 theme?

 When someone activates a plugin with a fatal error, it stops and
 deactivates. We can have something similar for the themes?

 You activate it > There's a fatal error > Don't activate the theme.

 What do you think?
