Description

here's an interesting article about using SVGs for image previews/placeholders: https://jmperezperez.com/svg-placeholders/

I'm not sure if there is a pure Go library to do something like this, but if so, it would certainly be an interesting feature to add.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First investigate whether a pure Go SVG library can support the proposed image previews or placeholders, then trace how imageproxy currently handles image output. Done means a defined SVG-output design is implemented and its behavior is verified.
