Add styling for <select multiple> options
See original GitHub issueWhen using a single <select>, the dropdown menu is generated by the browser, and thus the options cannot be styled. However, when using a <select multiple>, the options are actually part of the page content, and can be styled with CSS.
So, can styling for options of <select multiple> be added to Bootstrap?

“Support it” is a dangerous term to use here. I know Chrome and Firefox can handle colors differently on single selects for example which introduced this bug:
As I said before, the browser decides how the options are rendered. We can’t know for sure what the effects on all OS/browser combinations with (dark & light modes) will be now and in the future.
