Comment:

 None of the default themes since Twenty Fourteen have included an
 `attachment.php` template file, but they all correctly handle displaying
 attachments (at least, image attachments) via template parts that are
 included in `single.php`.

 Technically, a theme could only include `index.php` and still gracefully
 handle the display of attachments.

 I think detecting whether or not a theme correctly supports attachments is
 pretty much impossible. Does the theme review guidelines cover the display
 of attachments? If not, that would probably be the best approach here.
