Yeah that was advantage "1. A  guaranteed, consistent, and high quality set
of icons" I listed. Essentially GTK+ 3 has implicitly had a runtime
dependency on an implementation of the icon naming spec for some time. This
isn't a new change. In fact we optionally also depend on an implementation
of symbolic icons too. Even though I think not having one should fallback
in some fashion.

As for the best way to express this? I don't know offhand. Suggestions
welcome.
