Hide dotfiles with Vertico just like with Ivy?

There was a feature in Ivy that allows you to [hide
dotfiles](https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper/blob/5ff652c3020c5c5100110
18ca6805a4d65339e32/counsel.el#L1958) (or any regex that you want to
specify) until you input a leading dot into the search query, is there
anything similar with Vertico? It's a really nice feature to declutter
hidden files from your search results.

You can hide/show recent files with `consult` and a custom filter. If
you're finding files in a project, you could probably rely on your vc
ignores (`projectile` will respect your `.gitignore`) but showing them
would probably require some function variant with `let` binding to
override the ignore list.

Right. To be explicit, this isn't something that is within Vertico's
purview. It is just a display. To customize the offered values for a
command, you need to look at the command itself.

There is [consult-find-args](https://github.com/minad/consult/blob/af4
52dc5d429e15fb1228dd6967d592f1c483640/consult.el#L257) for consult-
find for example, but I sadly never got it to work properly since I
didn't quite understand how consult mangles the arguments internally.
