[Feature Request] Pass specification to customize noUISlider filters from datatable?

[yogat3ch]

HI @yihui and DT maintainers,
I've been asked and seen it come up a couple of times to have the ability to customize the noUISliders used for column range filtering.
Looking at all the instances of noUISlider in htmlwidgets.js it does not appear that arguments are passed down from DT::datatable to the noUISlider but I could be wrong?
Does DT provide the ability to pass arguments on to the noUISlider implementation via a specification? Perhaps a list with column names specifying a list of arguments for noUISlider for each column? This could also be an unnamed list and just use the indices.
If it's not possible at present, what's the difficulty level of implementing this? Is it currently on the roadmap?

I've asked about a workaround here on R4DS. I haven't asked on SO or RStudio Community about a workaround yet.

There's some related discussion in #1083. Are there any particular options you think would be useful to customize?
