to fully explain the unfortunateness and why "just set the theme to something 
else internally" is quite so straightforward, Svg also needs to maintain the 
ability to set the Theme for the object via Svg::setTheme, while maintaining 
that "other theme" for caching and coloring when the Svg itself is not themed.

denying setTheme calls when it is not themed means requiring setting the 
imagePath first, which just seems brittle (calls the rely on the order of 
other calls in non-obvious ways)

it would probably also be defensible to say, "if you use setTheme on an Svg 
that doesn't use a theme Svg file, you're program is buggy. but that, too, 
seems fragile.

separating the caching out of Theme and into a caching object occurred to me, 
but then it's not just the caching that is needed but also the colors and then 
we have most of Theme all over again.

meh..
