Quite - last time I proposed this there were all manner of bogus heebie
jeebies about icon sets and potential unknown 'accessibility problems'
from this change :-) unwilling to accept my view, or Oliver's we got
Bill Haneman (RIP) to authoritatively rule, that from an a11y viewpoint
this would be a good change.
Unfortunately, by that time, enough of the will-to-live had been sapped
that nothing got done.
It would be wonderful to fix this - it would shrink our downloaded
binaries, shrink our images.zip files, shrink the memory footprint to
store the full .zip directory tree in memory, accelerate image lookups
and of course:

clean the code up in a lot of places. Oh, and of course - high-contrast
icons are only one facet of the a11y problem: having a low-contrast
theme in parallel is good practice too ;-)

An excellent idea :-)
HTH,
