+ ! This view box is a bit weird: the strokes assume they're working in a view
+ ! box that spans from the (0,0) to (100,100), and indeed that is convenient
+ ! conceptualizing the strokes, but the stroke itself has a considerable width
+ ! that gets clipped by restrictive view box dimensions. Hence, the view is
+ ! shifted from (0,0)–(100,100) to (-20,-20)–(120,120), to make room for the
+ ! clipped stroke, while leaving behind an illusion of working in a view box
+ ! spanning from (0,0) to (100,100).
+ !
+ ! However, the resulting SVG is too close to the summary text, and CSS
+ ! properties to add padding do not seem to work with `content:` (likely because
+ ! they're anonymous replaced elements); thus, the width of the view is
+ ! increased considerably to provide padding in the SVG itself, while leaving
+ ! the strokes oblivious.
+ !
+ ! It gets worse: the summary text isn't vertically aligned with the icon! As
+ ! a flexbox cannot be used in a summary to align the marker with the text, the
+ ! simplest and most effective solution is to reduce the height of the view box
+ ! from 140 to 130, thereby removing some of the bottom padding present.
+ !
+ ! All six SVGs use the same view box (and indeed, they refer to this comment)
+ ! so that they all appear to be the same size and position relative to each
+ ! other on the DOM—indeed, the view box dimensions, alongside the width,
+ ! directly control their placement on the DOM.
+ !
+ ! TL;DR: CSS is janky, overflow is weird, and SVG is awesome!
