[Suggestion] Split code into smaller files as a package...

[Sophist-UK]

...for maintainability.

And build a single file version through a GH build action.

Suggested split:

1. Core svgelements
2. Shapes other than Paths or Text
3. Paths inc. PathSegments
4. Text

Where the various elements are is where they sort of need to stay, it's a pretty massive breaking change to change them now.

• Text isn't a shape per the svg spec.

This could be done in svgio since that's fine to make such changes. But, is pretty much a non-starter for svgelements.

It is not a breaking change to create a /src directory and put the separated parts into that and have a build process to create a single file from the parts.

And I know that Text is not a Shape - though it does have most (if not all) of the attributes of a shape i.e. stroke, stroke width, fill etc. But it has so much extra stuff I think we can understand why it isn't considered a Shape.

Too breaking.

This is NOT a breaking change. I am suggesting that we have separate files and use a build process on every commit to master to bring them all together into a single file.

Users could either continue to use the single file or use the split files as they wish.

Too breaking. Maybe for something like svgio but certainly not this project.

Ok.
