Hi Rudi, your write-up is very interesting, and your ideas about
LSP seem to converge with mine, more or less.  Indeed, maybe
Eglot shouldn't exist at all, it should just be built-in Emacs
functionality.  But that's for later.  For now, l'm interested in your
feedback on Eglot, either here or in its Github tracker.
