I think the question here is would an Elisp LSP server be able to offer
anything over a direct implementation within Emacs. That this seems
improbable was mentioned previously, so in effect this would only
improve the ELisp support for non-Emacs editors (why there would be
interest for that I find hard to understand, but that is not the point).
