This library allows to create svg icons by parsing remote collections
whose license are compatibles with GNU Emacs. The default size of an
icon is exactly 2x1 characters such that it can be inserted inside a
text without disturbing alignment. Note that aach icon is cached
locally to speed-up loading the next time you use it. If for some
reason the cache is corrupted you can force reload using the
svg-icon-get-data function.
