 /**
- * Factory to create Icon class components for consumers
+ * Builds a React **class** component that renders a PatternFly SVG icon (`role="img"`, optional `<title>` for a11y).
+ *
+ * **Argument shape — pick one:**
+ *
+ * 1. **`CreateIconProps` (preferred)** — `{ name?, icon?, rhUiIcon? }`. Dimensions and path data sit on `icon`
+ *    (and optionally on `rhUiIcon` for Red Hat UI–mapped icons). If the object **has an `icon` or `rhUiIcon` key**
+ *    (including `rhUiIcon: null`), this shape is assumed.
+ *
+ * 2. **Legacy flat `IconDefinition`** — the same fields as `icon`, but at the **top level** (no nested `icon`).
+ *    Still accepted so existing callers are not broken. Prefer migrating to `CreateIconProps`.
+ *
+ * **Path data on each `IconDefinition`:** use `svgPathData` (string or {@link SVGPathObject}[]). The old name
+ * `svgPath` is deprecated but still read; `svgPathData` wins if both are present.
+ *
+ * **Default vs RH UI rendering:** If `rhUiIcon` is set and the consumer does **not** pass `set` on the component,
+ *    the output is an outer `<svg.pf-v6-svg>` containing **two** inner `<svg>`s (default + rh-ui) so CSS can swap
+ *    which variant is visible. If `set` is `"default"` or `"rh-ui"`, a **single** flat `<svg>` is rendered for that
+ *    variant. Requesting `set="rh-ui"` when there is no `rhUiIcon` falls back to the default glyph and logs a
+ *    `console.warn` (see implementation).
+ *
+ * @param arg Icon configuration: either {@link CreateIconProps} (nested `icon` / `rhUiIcon`) or a legacy flat
+ *    {@link LegacyFlatIconDefinition}. Runtime detection follows the rules in **Argument shape** above.
+ * @returns A `ComponentClass<SVGIconProps>` — render it as `<YourIcon />` or with `title`, `className`, `set`, etc.
