There was a typo in my previous comment. I changed it to `i.icon-camera`.

I agree that those use cases look nicer with the helper.

Your last comment about using these helpers to write other helpers really gets to my point. If `icon_link_to` is useful, then shouldn't it be included with this pull-request as well? But then you start going down a slippery slope of adding tons of helpers that may or may not be to the liking of many of the developers who use this gem.

I think this pull request should be packaged into a separate gem called `font-awesome-rails-helpers`. Developers who want helpers could include `font-awesome-rails-helpers`. Developers who want minimalist FontAwesome can include `font-awesome-rails`. And developers who want the helpers to work differently can include `font-awesome-rails` and then write their own helpers.
