Is it? What says that?
The name itself doesn't say that. If that's important
then call it `ivy-rich', not `rich'. But that just
punts, no? Then someone needs to find that package
and see what it says "rich" means here.
Just because some other package uses a vague name like
that, does that mean Emacs shouldn't do better?
Might as well call it `enhanced', `special', `super',
or `wonderful'. Does "rich" have a meaning that
suggests something here other than "full" or "great"?
> Ivy supports a richer format of completions,
Which means what, exactly? Doesn't mean anything to
me, except to suggest that it uses a different format
that's somehow better than the other formats (how so?).

I'd suggest the opposite: there's no reason to be as
unclear in the default framework.
If you call it `ivy-rich' then OK. Someone can
search for what that might really mean.
Just one opinion. Doesn't really matter to me what
you call it.
