The benefit of this is that users only pay for what they use. If e.g.
only `vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()` is called then they don't need to load
all modules under `vim.lsp` which could lead to significant startuptime
saving.
Also `vim.lsp.module` is a bit nicer to user compared to
`require("vim.lsp.module")`.
This isn't used for some nested modules such as `filetype` as it breaks
tests with error messages such as "attempt to index field 'detect'".
It's not entirely certain the reason for this, but it is likely it is
due to filetype being precompiled which would imply deferred loading
isn't needed for performance reasons.
Problem:
Users using `vim.lsp.start` directly (instead of nvim-lspconfig) need
more visibility for troubleshooting. For example, troubleshooting
unnecesary servers or servers that aren't attaching to expected buffers.
Solution:
Mention attached buffers in the `:checkhealth lsp` report.
Example:
vim.lsp: Active Clients ~
- clangd (id=1, root_dir=~/dev/neovim, attached_to=[7])
- lua_ls (id=2, root_dir=~/dev/neovim, attached_to=[10])
For users using vim.lsp.start it can be useful to get an
overview of active client that is less verbose than a full `:lua
=vim.lsp.get_active_clients()`
Problem:
vim.lsp: require("vim.lsp.health").check()
