 > The trick is that the readme.txt is for the Theme Repository. So not all
 themes will have readme.txt. Core reads style.css, which must exist, so it
 should have priority. Anything missing from style.css can be filled in
 from readme.txt if it exists.

 This was how I originally did this, but was convinced in Slack to change
 the precedence order. It's a simple change.
