I haven't, but I'm sure that would work fine. On the other hand, it
means more points of configuration (quite a few of them), and if we're
already returning a manually-constructed project, it would be nice to be
able to use that for everything necessary. Projects are so loosely
defined, it seems we could get a lot of mileage out of returning a
custom project type that held Eglot-specific configuration. I understand
you're unenthusiastic about having Eglot fool with project-related
configuration, and I understand why, but it seems like this could be a
very thin wrapper that was very Eglot-specific.

Anyway I don't need to push it. My original problem is solved, I'm glad
the documentation is being expanded, and I appreciate being able to move
to Eglot!

Thanks,
Eric
