 Thanks for testing. Yes, at this stage, my patch should make everything
 behave the same. What changes though, is that it simplifies how plugins
 can add their own icons.

 For instance, in bbPress, they'd be able to drop:

 {{{
 #dashboard_right_now a.bbp-glance-topic-tags:before {
         content: '\f323';
 }
 }}}

 (and other `#dashboard_right_now` selectors) and change
 [https://github.com/ntwb/bbPress/blob/ce1334374cf9fd165e81da1e5b6b511a2b3b778b/src/includes/admin/metaboxes.php#L50
 this line] to include the `dashicons-before dashicons-tags` classes that
 already exist in WP.

 With simpler plugins that have no other admin styles, this may mean
 avoiding adding a `<style>` element or enqueuing a `.css` just to override
 the default marker.
