Method used to build prompts under the hood does not allow for full format customization
Currently method _build_prompt is implemented in very opinionated way regarding formatting how to display choices or default value. Considering how good of a job the rest of the features do in regards to potential extensions and customizations, I am surprised that the best way I found to customize this method is to overwrite it before use, for example as follows:
import click
def my_own_build_prompts(*args, **kwargs):
pass
click.termui._build_prompt = my_own_build_prompts
Even though it is "technically" possible to override, I'd argue the fact that in order to find it I had to dig deep into codebase and find the details of implementation feels "hacky" and "not intended" - and for sure error prone and not future-proof.
I am very happy to contribute and implement the solution, but I'd rather hear some opinions from the library owners beforehand whether this is something they'd find valuable.
In general, I am open to new community sourced ideas, and I appreciate the effort you put into this. However, Click is so widely used, that I would like to have more comprehensive docs and better test coverage before anything major is added, unless there is very clear community support. I will continue to keep an eye on this to see if it gathers community support.
