I think it just could be a follow up...

+1 reading and testing so far

I also found out that there is some inconsistency in naming scheme, but 
some overlays / css or single icons do not match the icons which should 
be displayed the css has to be overworked a bit, we simply could clean 
this up to...

 > - added "typeicon_classes" for various types; be_user, be_groups...

well, I do not really an additional config parameter, since it is not 
really needed (besides the special cases in the pages table).

If we would get around about our inconsistencies you named above, and 
introduce a clear namingscheme (as dann in the helper function for tca 
which does not have this array set) we would not need the configuration.
It just would be "convention". I think we have to discuss this,  if we 
would bother extension authors with just another tca option.

since the "mimetypes-x" is the responsible one for including the sprite, 
i think it should sound mimetypes-core-, so that the generatore api 
(whatever it may be) could genereate mimetypes-extkey, or as of now 
tcarecords-extkey


so far

P.S: With Benni I thought about an SpriteGenerator API which aims to 
fullfill all the different "points" the (in fact for uxw team really 
disappointing) discussion "Suggestions for triggering BE sprite 
generation" in dev-list brought up, and deals with the gap between 
current typo3 icon handling, single and configurable icons on the one 
hand, and the new nice and handy sprite-icon-api.
You may have a look at project.v4 list.
