AHC (and/or Akka HTTP, though that effort seems rather severely stalled)

Expected Behavior

Currently there's no way to sanely pass in a different name resolver, instead one has to change one field (the static DEFAULT_NAME_RESOLVER in RequestBuilderBase) in the shaded AHC package.

Also simply documenting it would probably help a bit, eg. something like:

def monkeyPatchPlayWsShadedAhcRequestBuilderBase(): Unit = {
    play.shaded.ahc.org.asynchttpclient.RequestBuilderBase.DEFAULT_NAME_RESOLVER =
      new YourSpecialResolver(ImmediateEventExecutor.INSTANCE)
}
