That is what the tests in the repository are trying to figure out. If we can get different use cases with different solutions, we effectively write the documentation Font Awesome needs. Not to say that it is our duty to do so, but I like to work on it regardless—because it also affects icon fonts in general.

So yes, I hope that there will be some documentation and maybe a smart solution to do the Right Thing™ automagically.

I’ll add your suggestion to the repository.
