Why MenuCategory is defined as a string and it is inconvenient to add an icon.

Can't we use it? We need to patch it.

a = MenuCategory('Info', icon_type=ICON_TYPE_GLYPH, icon_value='icon-desktop')

admin.add_view(UserA(User, category=a, menu_icon_type=ICON_TYPE_GLYPH, menu_icon_value='icon-desktop'))
admin.add_view(ModelView(Role, category=a, menu_icon_type=ICON_TYPE_GLYPH, menu_icon_value='icon-desktop'))

base.html line: 6

    <title>{%- block title -%}{% if admin_view.category %}
      {% if admin_view.category.__class__ == ''.__class__ %}
          {{ admin_view.category }}
      {% else %}
          {{ admin_view.category.name }}
      {% endif %}
       - {% endif %}{{ admin_view.name }} - {{ admin_view.admin.name }}
      {% endblock %}</title>

layout.html line: 29

          <a class="dropdown-toggle" href="javascript:void(0)">
            {% if item.__class__ != ''.__class__ %}
                {% set item = item.name %}
            {% endif %}
            {{ menu_icon(item) }} <span class="menu-text">{{ item.name }}</span><b class="arrow icon-angle-down"></b>
          </a>

This is a complete theme.
