Comment:

 Thanks @johnbillion, I like your suggestion of a new function - it solves
 the original problem while avoiding the issues of changing the return
 value of the existing function, as discovered. I have attached a diff with
 this new function for review.

 I considered creating equivalent `has_*()` functions for `get_header()`,
 `get_sidebar()`, and `get_footer()` respectively, but the use of the
 theme-compat files in the `locate_template()` function renders these new
 functions redundant - they would all return true, regardless of theme
 files.
