Description
I see that colorizeElement supports being given a theme, but colorize doesn't.
I'd like to pass a specific theme to colorize as well, and have it write the styles inline in the output string, so that I can use different themes for different things at the same time.
Example use case: a github-like markdown editor, where the editor has a light theme just like the preview, but perhaps code blocks rendered in the preview use a dark theme, for better contrast and an arguably more interesting design choice.

Research direction
Start by locating the colorize and colorizeElement entry points and comparing how their theme arguments are handled. Done means colorize accepts a specific theme and returns output with inline styles, while allowing separately rendered snippets to use different themes; check the relevant colorization tests or examples once located.
