Description
According to the following code, I know how to set complete_style.
https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit/blob/511173b37bf0a98db9af2ca40492bba4a60072f9/examples/prompts/auto-completion/colored-completions.py#L35
Then is there a way to set the complete_style dynamically？
For example, when the get_completions function returns less than 10 elements, apply CompleteStyle.COLUMN, otherwise use CompleteStyle.READLINE_LIKE

Research direction
Start with the linked examples/prompts/auto-completion/colored-completions.py example around line 35, then trace how CompleteStyle and get_completions are used. Done means establishing whether the completion style can be selected from the number of returned elements, with COLUMN used below 10 and READLINE_LIKE otherwise.
