// This component is perhaps a bit of a hack but the approach should be
// reliable. It converts the current (JS) theme to CSS, and add it to the HEAD
// tag. The component itself doesn't render anything where it's located (just an
// empty invisible DIV), so it means it could be put anywhere and would have the
// same effect.
//
// It's still reliable because the lifecyle of adding the CSS and removing on
// unmout is handled properly. There should only be one such component on the
// page.
