 * Hi everyone,
    I was going through theme TwentyFourteen files and stumbled into
   the “back-compat.php” file where a strange action hook was used to prevent the
   theme customizer from being loaded.
 * add_action( ‘load-customize.php’, ‘twentyfourteen_customize’ );
 * I was trying to understand what’s going on here, but I could not figure out where
   this action hook was defined!! I could not also find it any where in the documentations.
 * In this a new action hook, or is it a plugin file?
    How does it get triggered?
 * Thanks
