[REQUEST] support multiple chars for rule printing

Have you checked the issues for a similar suggestions? Yes

How would you improve Rich?

Currently for rule.py it only allows the character to have 1 cell length, it would better if it could allow more, like

>>> console.print(Rule("hello", character="-+"))
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ hello -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

What problem does it solved for you?

I was just thinking it would improve it and it looks like an ASCII rule, which is cool (like this program)

If this is accepted, I would like to work on it, because I have already tried it out ”locally” (https://repl.it/@hedythedev/rich#rich/rule.py) and it works well

console.print(Rule(text, character="-/-"))

The Rule should extend to the full width available, which may mean you need an extra character on the right hand side. To use your example:

|1234512 hello 12345123|

Btw when you say works for me, do you mean the code in repl.it?

Just meant its a good idea in general.

Also would chars work better? Because characters is a bit long

It is, but I dislike abbreviations. I’d rather type it in full than recall how it was abbreviated…
