But if we're open to change how branches are displayed maybe a config
option like branch.format (probably not the best name choice) that can
be set to the 'for-each-ref --format' syntax would be way more flexible.

We have that already, don't we?

git branch has --format, but there's no way (at least to my knowledge)
to define a value in gitconfig to be used by $git branch.

Having branch --format available, making an alias is a possible route.
(Either by wrapping branch --format or for-each-ref itself). But I was
referring to changing the output of the default $git branch;
