How to get raw SVG from code?

[joemaller]

A project was upgraded to v3.0 but had been relying on the height/width of embedded SVGs embedded using <?= $SVG->arrow ?>. Because the updated library now normalizes the SVG and strips dimensions, there were a number of places where SVGs appeared too big or invisible because of a zero-dimension.

Can there be a way of accessing the original, unmodified file from code? Maybe go back to "raw" or "src" like this?

<?= $SVG->raw->arrow ?> or <?= $SVG->src->arrow ?>

Or, keeping the magic methods pure, an argument could be added to the embed method?

For the raw source content, do this: <?= $SVG->embed('arrow', false) ?> where the argument would be something like $cleanSVG or $normalizeSVG. Sending true to get the raw source contents seems to go against what the library is trying to do: <?= $SVG->embed('arrow', true) ?>

Considering #20, maybe an options argument would be most versatile. Something like this:

$SVG->embed('arrow', ['raw' => true]);

This would parallel options available to the shortcode, also allowing other features like width and height.
