Currently the MatIcon appears in the Directives section, however it's a Component:

Oh, I just noticed it's happening on all pages, not just for the MatIcon, so now I'm starting to wonder if this is on purpose 🤔

It's a bit of trivia from the Angular.js days, but every component is also a directive.

Yes, I'm aware that a component is, under the hood, a directive, but shouldn't the Material docs differentiate them, like the Angular docs?
