SVG Styling #408

Hi all!

First off let me say THANK YOU for making this awesome repo! I am humbled. I recently read an article and I was wondering what you all thought about styling different parts of an SVG:

I would love to have the above mentioned capability with this library though I am sure it would take a significant level of effort. I have only reviewed a few icons and they dont appear to adhere to the styling guidelines mentioned in the article but I would be glad to pitch in and help if the community thought this was a good idea.

Looks interesting, and as far as I can tell, can be implemented without placing issues on existing use of icons..but it also says that this is very early in development. I'm not sure it's a good idea to implement this when the specification isn't finalized or near finalized..

It was a very old post so it must be much further along by now. "by P.J. Onori8 Oct 2013"

Here is their website: https://useiconic.com/

But it looks like they have now joined the invision team. In any case, who cares? The real point is that we can use their initial standards and make them our own for this library. Then we can get multi-colors within a single icon. Isn't that a great goal to work for? And I truly believe that although time consuming, this would not be difficult to implement for this icon library.
