[wp-hackers] prevent theme's functions.php from loading in wp-settings

[Paul Menard]

Thanks Andrew. But my point was more about the theme functions.php being
loaded at all from wp-settings.php. Sure I can figure out a way to short
circuit the get_options call but that is for TwentyFourteen. What is there
is another theme used and the functions.php does many other queries I
really don't want? Just seems less efficient not being able to control this
via the WP_USE_THEMES define.
