I use Eglot over Tramp exclusively, since it allows me to set up 
containers with isolated and predictable environments. It's a very 
important feature for me, which is why I submitted the initial 
patch that made it possible. I would *love* to fix the “forbidden 
re-entrant call to Tramp” problem, but I honestly have no idea 
how. I've tried before, but debugging this particular facet of 
Tramp's behavior is extremely challenging for me: it's very 
inconsistent, and I haven't figured out a way to see the chain of 
events that's setting it off.

I also suspect it's a larger problem than Eglot: I also see the 
error fairly regularly in eshell sessions on remote hosts.

I'm more than willing to put some work in here if I can get some 
useful pointers; I *love* Tramp, and this is my only real 
annoyance with it right now.
