  Actually we're discussing in VDG-land whether or not this is something we should do anyway, because right now we have no way of forcing the use of a monochrome icon for a >22px size when a larger colorful version exists. Using `-symbolic` to suffix the monochrome versions would allow us to do this. Adding some VDG folks for comment.
