Description
### Description
Apologies if it's more of a feature request than an issue.
I tried using `dot net new record` and it created a `record class` with `public record class ` instead of `public record` and I could not find a switch for "just" `public record` there to match other `record` items in my project.
I am aware we can have custom templates, but a `--short` to shorthand would've been nice.
Thanks.
### Reproduction Steps
Follow these steps, I used PowerShell 7.6 for this:
```powershell
dotnet new update
cd /
mkdir record-test
cd .\record-test\
dotnet new classlib -n MyClassLib
cd .\MyClassLib\
dotnet new record -n MyAwesomeRecord
cat .\MyAwesomeRecord.cs
```
### Expected behavior
Output should have been:
```csharp
namespace MyClassLib;
public record MyAwesomeRecord
{
}
```
### Actual behavior
Output will be:
```csharp
namespace MyClassLib;
public record class MyAwesomeRecord
{
}
```
### Regression?
Not a regression, just missing a switch IMHO.
Thanks.
### Known Workarounds
A custom template?
### Configuration

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the documented `dotnet new record -n MyAwesomeRecord` command and compare its output with the requested `public record` form. Trace the `dotnet new record` template entry point and determine how a switch such as `--short` should affect generated output; done means the switch produces the requested form without changing the existing default.
