Sure, I can see that being handy, but we don't want to take on the job
of maintaining such a thing ourselves, because it'd be a never ending job.

And I'm sceptical of using a crowd-sourced repository for something like
that, because who knows what could sneak in. Looking at the list there,
I don't see anything particularly offensive, but it looks kinda... too
much:
],
"🔘": [
"radio_button",
"input",
"old",
"music",
"circle"
],
"🔳": [
"white_square_button",
"shape",
"input"
],
"🔲": [
"black_square_button",
"shape",
"input",
"frame"
],
"shape"? "old"?
It's MIT-licensed, though.... uhm... I don't recall whether that's OK
or not at the moment. Is MIT the one where you have to list the
original author prominently? Anybody?
