Description
Description of the feature request:
In rules_jvm_external we stamp jars so that buildifier can give accurate instructions. To do this, we need to know the workspace name that a human will use, rather than the canonical workspace name.
@fmeum has suggested opening up Label#getDisplayForm to Starlark to enable this.
Which category does this issue belong to?
Core, Documentation, External Dependency
What underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?
I need to be able to supply the workspace name that a user will use in dialogues and embedded information in artifacts.
Which operating system are you running Bazel on?
macOS
What is the output of bazel info release?
release 7.0.0rc7
If bazel info release returns development version or (@non-git), tell us how you built Bazel.
