	 * that can use dynamic data (modify the stylesheet depending on some option,

	 * https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/10/10/filters-for-theme-json-data/

	 * A different alternative considered was to invalidate the cache upon certain
	 * events such as options add/update/delete, user meta, etc.
	 * It was judged not enough, hence this approach.
