Instances (objects or collections) should be shown different in scene collection
I was testing new Blender 2.8 and I thinking that instances should be easy to find in scene collections. I had scene with hundreds of objects and I didn't know which objects are what.
Mockup that I made should show what I have in mind.

blender.community/c/rightclickselect/Btcbbc/show-instances-in-italic-in-outliner there's a proposal already
@Wo! 262: I like this proposal better because you know what it is instancing and it still has it's own name.
@ondraise15: but it is not realy an instance, right? it is just using the same mesh data as far as I understood, so there is not an "original" that it is cloning from, and the mesh info is already there. maybe it could just say on the outliner how many users that mesh has, I think that would be more coherent in blender (and maybe an option/button to select all objects using the same mesh).
