We will not implement this as a general tool, as adding custom icons is a very infrequent use case, and even when it does happen, it is typically only used for icons that are only used once in a specific place, in which case the constant is pointless. Furthermore, the way the generator is currently structured, it directly uses an embedded fs, which means that it can't easily work as a more general-purpose thing. In the rare case that this is needed, people can copy and adopt the code to their specific use case. We may revisit this decision in the context of #515 and other internationalization-related issues.
