Return value from Container.svg() (actually Dom.svg()) is not useful

[pragdave]

Bug report

It looks like Dom.svg() is returning the parent element, and not the newly created internal svg element.

Fiddle

Here's a pen: https://codepen.io/pragdave/pen/qBbREKO

Explanation

I can't use nested() because:

1. I need the embedded SVG's attributes to be directly exposed, and

2. nested returns a DOM element, not a container.

I'm guessing this behavior is because svg() can accept multiple SVG elements, and so the choice of return value is ambiguous. Perhaps it could just return the first?

Cheers

Or.. is the canonical way to do

let el = SVG.SVG(some svg)
draw.add(el)

Correct!

Thats a good idea but would introduce a breaking change

Or.. is the canonical way to do

This will create an element based on the first element of the given string. So jeah - if it is only one element this way is the prefered one
