Description
The current theme and style format is not very extendable. May need a better (bundled) format. This would be a good time to correct some it-was-a-good-idea-at-the-time mistakes.
Todo:
- [x] Make the theme/style detector able to detect both entries from bundle and user space (the former shadows the latter, so that we can roll out updates for them without being shadowed by the user’s version).
- [x] Disable auto resource-copying to `Application Support`.
- [x] Metadata and structure for new bundle formats.
- [x] Convert all existing resources in the bundle to new formats, but keep old formats readable.
- [x] Convert Prism resources to the new format.
- [ ] Convert MathJax resources to the new format. Is this even possible? (optional)
- [ ] Provide a way to easily copy bundle resources to user space for editing. (optional)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the theme/style detector and the bundle resource metadata and structure, then review how Prism and MathJax resources are represented. The remaining scope is unresolved: MathJax conversion and copying bundle resources to user space are marked optional.
