Description
Related tickets on extending Themes to have Plugin features: #7795 and #14849 but those deal primarily with activation and deactivation centering around 'switch_themes' action.
From looking at /wp-admin/includes/plugin.php, adding support for uninstall is a separate concern (and it doesn't have the issue blocking activation/deactivation).
Should is_uninstallable_plugin, register_uninstall_hook and uninstall_plugin be extended to check theme directory or should versions (is_uninstallable_plugin, register_uninstall_theme_hook and uninstall_plugin) be added to theme.php?
Advantage of the first method is that the register_uninstall_hook could be reused for Themes where in the second, a new, less attractive name would be needed (register_uninstall_theme_hook?) Also, there's no theme_basename as it was reverted/removed.
