Material: md-autocomplete: should have a 'display icon' option

[drinkbird]

It's commonplace to display an informative icon next to some controls, especially if that control is used for searching. It would be nice if the autocomplete control could accept an icon property that would result to something like the following:

At the moment, just as a workaround, we can do something similar with a bit of custom CSS. See plunker

@troig thanks for the suggestion, it's similar to what I'm doing for now. It's just so standard to see an icon there that it would make sense to be supported out of the box.

Is this issue going to be resolved or we should use the CSS workaround all the time?

[LeoLozes]

I guess it has been closed on the spring issue cleaning spree. Would be really nice to have without nasty CSS hacks though.

Also, when using the md-autocomplete with a floating label, it can be good to have a select icon at the right, as the simple select component

Since this issue is closed, I don't think this is gonna be fixed. CSS workaround works well so...
