What I think I am going to do is have a default.prompts file that never gets
touched by anything.  And then when you "create" a theme in the
editor it will
basically copy those defaults from default.prompts to a new prompts file just
for that theme.

The prompts that aren't changed from the default will not be stored in that
text file, so basically, only what you customize gets stored per theme.  The
rest falls back to the "default" prompts.

This means when updating, you can just copy in the new default.prompts and
everything will just work without editing anything.

I also need to develop some sort of "template editor" for the new template
system because a lot of prompts are going to move to the actual template
files like the ansimidx template.
