symmetry in the way we specify request factories

[joshlong]

    @Bean
    JdkClientHttpRequestFactory jdkClientHttpRequestFactory() {
        return new JdkClientHttpRequestFactory();
    }

    @Bean
    RestClient restClient(
            JdkClientHttpRequestFactory jdkClientHttpRequestFactory,
            RestClient.Builder builder) {
        return builder
                .requestFactory(jdkClientHttpRequestFactory)
                .build();
    }

    @Bean
    RestTemplate restTemplate(
            JdkClientHttpRequestFactory jdkClientHttpRequestFactory,
            RestTemplateBuilder builder) {
        return builder
                .requestFactory(() -> jdkClientHttpRequestFactory)
                .build();
    }

it would be nice if the ResstClient also took a Supplier<T> and the RestTemplate took a reference.

We have only RestClient and the RestTempate on our side, and they are consistent with each other.

RestTemplateBuilder is on the Boot side and it has Supplier and Function variants that apply customs settings. That's a different purpose that makes sense for Boot's own needs. we don't aim to be consistent with that.

Is there a specific issue that you've run into or specific use case that is not well served?
