-While many legacy symbolics only live as the exported individual SVGS in `Adwaita/scalable/`, the new
additions and replacements are maintained in `src/symbolic/core.svg`. The contexts are [no longer

reuse icon assets (no API, false promise of stability).
### Recoloring
The color of the icon set is defined at runtime by the gtk theme. Every single icon from the set is actually
embedded inside an xml container that has a stylesheet overriding the colors.
