Personally I don't find this very useful, since most of the time the
lights in my room are turned on during the night. I only call that
function when I turn my lights off.

I don't know any applications that have that kind of behavior enabled by
default, since it's a bit intrusive.

But I think that it would be a great optional feature (i.e. disabled by
default) for those that are into it.

Maybe this could also be an optional alternative behavior that you can
enable with a boolean variable? toggle-light-dark-theme-use-reverse-video

I like your suggestions and I can see that they appeal to other users,
but personally I also wouldn't use reverse video (I like using
kaolin-galaxy as my dark theme and modus-operandi for my light theme).

Or we could also do the inverse: use the behavior of your code by
default and make mine optional.  :)
