I think it's fine now, thanks.

Or the 'L. ' wholesale, but using @: as you've done is also fine ;).

If the answer is easy, or drawing the circumflexes is easy? ;)

Either way, the answer is boring: I create a new line, add the
appropriate indentation e.g. using indent-relative, and then add the
circumflexes manually.  Maybe someone else knows a faster trick.

If you don't mind the (minor) maintenance overhead of removing the form
in emacs.git, then that's fine.  Alternatively, a more DWIM approach
could be something like this:

  ;;;###autoload
  (when load-file-name
    (let ((dir (file-name-directory load-file-name)))
      (unless (equal dir (expand-file-name "themes/" data-directory))
        (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path dir))))

I'm not sure if this works on non-GNU/Linux platforms, though.
Does anyone else know or have a better suggestion?

It could probably use file-in-directory-p instead, but that's quite a
bit slower than file-name-directory + expand-file-name, at least in
relative terms.

Let me know what works best for you.

Following the discussion in:

  https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/162

I'm preparing to update emacs.git to Modus version 1.2.2.  I just want
to clarify a thing here and there first, so stay tuned.

Thanks,
