'''
This decorator is one component of a theming system, where the user gets a
CSS stylesheet based on the value of their theme cookie.
Add this decorator to your endpoint. Then, use request.cookies.get to
check what theme they want. This decorator will inject the cookie before
your function runs. Add the appropriate stylesheet to your response HTML.
The user can change their theme by adding ?theme=name to the end of any URL
which uses this decorator.
