/**
 * This code is removed on production builds.

 * Webpack's `string-replace-loader` searches for the `use theming` string
 * in this specific file, and replaces it with CSS requires statements that
 * are specific to the themes we have enabled.
 *
 * Without this workaround, webpack would import the CSS of all themes, which
 * would defeat the purpose of hot-reloading since all themes would be compiled,
 * which would result in compilation times on the order of 30s, even on a
 * powerful machine.
 *
 * For more details, see webpack.config.js:184 (string-replace-loader)
