How to: Prevent display of Fatal error when accessing theme folder directly

I noticed that http://domain.tld/wp-content/themes/enfold/ was indexed by Google and that it on that URL was shown: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /dummy/wp-content/themes/enfold/index.php on line 11

This error can be prevented by adding:

if( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit;
}

..right after the first PHP tag.

Seen in Enfold version 2.5.2
