Comment:

 From dev chat today:

 `Jane__:`
 > we have that generic gear for things that add top level menus... i
 wouldnt' want to introduce a random 'other type' icon bc it could get
 confused with other meaningful icons

 > a pencil, for example, always means edit/write

 > i think it would make more sense to do an education push around adding a
 custom icon with your custom post type

 > once you get someone doing 3 custom post types in one install the
 'custom non-post icon' doesn't do anything anymore in terms of
 differentiating

 ----
 New thought: we should make it easier to register a sprite for the icons
 instead of having developers go the long way around with CSS. See #20052
