 * Overall, I like this theme. I do wonder why the author changed it to Bootstrap
   4 when it’s still in beta (and without any warning…thereby breaking child themes
   along the way), but that’s fine.
 * One issue I have is the container within header.php. When making child themes,
   I don’t like to mess with header.php so that when updates occur I don’t have 
   to update the child theme’s version by hand. But because there’s a container 
   started in there, I can’t use “container-fluid” in a template, and carousels &
   jumbotrons don’t go to the edges.

 * Hi! You can use .full-bleed-section class.

 * I wasn’t sure if you were saying there already was such a class, but I didn’t
   find one.
 * I created one instead:
 * `.full-width { width: 100vw; position: relative; left: 50%; right: 50%; margin-
   left: -50vw; margin-right: -50vw; border-radius: 0; }`
