Problem

Claude keeps hallucinating a ui.icon() function mimicking shiny's. Right now we import icons from faicons and it feels a bit clunky to have to import a separate package to use icons.
We should consider making ui.icon() a reality.

Solution

Expect it would look something like:

ui.input_action_button("id", "my label", *, icon=ui.icon("star"))

We should make sure the icons lack default margins, so the alignment is handled by the surrounding component.
