 * Giving an element a class of `.sprite` will throw it into ‘sprite’ mode and apply
 * a background image e.g.:
 *
   <a class="sprite  sprite--question-mark">More info&hellip;</a>
 *
 * or
 *
   <a href=#><i class="sprite  sprite--question-mark"></i> Help and FAQ</a>
 *
 * Giving an element a class of `.icon` will throw it into ‘icon’ mode and will
 * not add a background, but should be used for icon fonts and is populated
 * through a `data-icon` attribute and the `:after` pseudo-element, e.g.:
 *
   <a href=#><i class=icon data-icon="&#xF000;"></i> View your favourites</a>
 *
 * Where ‘&#xF000;’ might map to a star in your particular icon font.
 *
 * These all require extension in your theme stylesheet, e.g. in your own CSS:
 *
   .sprite{
       background-image:url(path/to/your/sprite.png);
   }
   .sprite--link{ background-position:0   0  ; }
   .sprite--star{ background-position:0 -16px; }
