`csquotes:true` should wrap block quotes in `displayquote` environments

Explain the problem.

Pandoc has support for csquotes: true to make use of the csquotes package. The latex package provides the displayquote environment.

---
title: "Your Document"
format:
  pdf:
    keep-tex: true
csquotes: true
---

> This is a block quote.

Running

pandoc -f markdown -t latex test.md

Yields this result

\begin{quote}
This is a block quote.
\end{quote}

I would have expected that pandoc would use csquote's displayquote environment for block quotes.

Pandoc version?
pandoc -v
pandoc 3.1.11.1
Features: +server +lua
Scripting engine: Lua 5.4

Is it the case that by default (without further customizations in the preamble), displayquote will behave just like quote? If so, we could consider this.

From my understanding this is true. displayquote will behave just like quote if you won't modify anything:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{csquotes}

\begin{document}

\section*{Using the \texttt{quote} Environment}
This is an example of the standard \texttt{quote} environment in LaTeX:
\begin{quote}
  The only limit to our realization of tomorrow is our doubts of today.
  --- Franklin D. Roosevelt
\end{quote}

\section*{Using the \texttt{displayquote} Environment}
This is an example of the \texttt{displayquote} environment provided by the \texttt{csquotes} package:
\begin{displayquote}
  The only limit to our realization of tomorrow is our doubts of today.
  --- Franklin D. Roosevelt
\end{displayquote}

\end{document}
