Yes, we needn't commit, though no reason to needlessly deviate from
that list either.  Note that the full list in the LSP spec isn't very long
or complete.  It's just a "recommendation".

As I understand, it's rather servers themselves  (particularly the ones
who support more than one language, like typescript-language-server,
ocamllsp, and others) who make this decision.  So I guess the full list
is the union of all supported identifiers , and there might be one or
two conflicts there, but I would suspect not a lot.

Yes, I think I can realistically support this:

  (("ocaml" "reason") "ocamllsp")

Note the strings in the car becasue symbols already mean major modes.
