Problem/Motivation

When including a svg file inline in your template like this
{% include active_theme_path() ~ '/icons/svg-is-the-awesomesauce.svg' %}

if you happen to delete or missspell (se what i did there) the file name, drupal & twig gets very unhappy and refuses to load the file, that is less than ideal & causes confusion + a broken site.

Proposed resolution

A test to see if the file actually exist:
something along the way of:

{% if active_theme_path() ~ '/icons/svg-is-the-awesomesauce.svg exist % }
  {% include active_theme_path() ~ '/icons/svg-is-the-awesomesauce.svg' %}
{% endif %}

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
