 Ah, so a JS polyfill.  That could easily test for browser support of
 `srcset` -- no?  It's a bit of a stretch to say "You're breaking the
 plugin!" by implementing something standards compliant in core that lets
 browsers natively handle responsive images as they're meant to without
 forcing images to re-download twice (as your current plugin does)
