What about using the left *and* also the right side of the method list
to show icons...
If we could use the right side for "optionnal" icons, that would be
still readable and we could have more icons.
yes, but it gets very confusing when you have icons on the left and on the
right.
And when you only have icons on the right, then they are not getting the same
attention as when they are on the left.
It also depends whether you place the icons always directly after the method label,
or in one vertical column whose position is decided by the longest method label in
the list. The latter looks nicer, but has the problem that you don't see the icons
when you have just one single very long method name in your list that takes more
space than the column is width (which happens many times when browsing all methods of
a class in my image). You then have to make your browser window bigger which is
cumbersome.
So I don't know whether this is a good solution. Icons should be easy to grasp
visually and normally, as we read from left to right, this is achieved when they are
on the left side.
