The icon is in the outliner in the rain_restaurant scene but is not explained in the table of data block types at
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/files/data_blocks.html

Think this is the same icon, no?
No, the Collection icon is one folder, the Collection Instance icon is two folders.
Again: What would you suggest to explain here?
The "Collection Instance" icon (two folders) which is different from the "Collection" icon (one folder) is not explained at
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/files/data_blocks.html
BTW, my first response bounced due to a misconfigured email server:

Sorry, was on parental leave for a bit.
Get the difference now (one vs. two boxes/folders).
This is about a Collection being a "real" ID (only these are listed in that documentation page)
A Collection Instance is really an Object (in terms of ID type -- as stated before), the objects data is a Collection.
So the "real" ID datablocks (object and collection) already have their representation in that documentation page, dont think it is really a fault to not include the collection instance icon there.
Of course, documentation can always be better, nothing would keep us from mentioning it (but also stating that this is no "real" ID), but this seems to be in the greyzone for not belonging to this bugtracker.
@Gon Solo (gonsolo) : makes sense? (Collection Instance not being a "real" ID/datablock?)
