Problem:
Capability register logic is spread across 3 files.
Solution:
- Consolidate (and simplify) logic into the client.
- Teach client.supports_method about resolve methods
Problem: Not possible to only set a "redraw later" type with
nvim__redraw, which seems to be desired for the
treesitter highlighter.
Solution: Do not update the screen when "flush" is explicitly set to
false and only redraw later types are present. In that case,
do not call ui_flush() either.
**Problem:** Despite the LSP providing the option for language servers
to specify a range with a hover response (for highlighting), Neovim does
not give the option to highlight this range.
**Solution:** Add an option to `buf.hover()` which causes this range to
be highlighted.

- Partition the handlers in vim.lsp.handlers as:
- client to server response handlers (RCS)
- server to client request handlers (RSC)
- server to client notification handlers (NSC)
Note use string indexes instead of protocol.methods for improved
typing in LuaLS (tip: use hover on RCS, RSC or NSC).
* deprecate old signatures
* move to new str_byteindex/str_utfindex signature
* use single-underscore name (double-underscore is reserved for Lua itself)
Problem:
`lsp.buf_request` send the same params to all servers and many
calls to this pass PositionalParams which depends on the clients
offset_encoding. This can result with incorrect params being sent
to a server.
Solution:
`lsp.buf_request` `params` argument can now be passed as a function
which takes the client as the first argument. This is used in
lsp/buf.lua to construct correct params for each client request.
Problem:
`vim.validate()` takes two forms when it only needs one.
Solution:
- Teach the fast form all the features of the spec form.
- Deprecate the spec form.
- General optimizations for both forms.
- Add a `message` argument which can be used alongside or in place
of the `optional` argument.
Problem:
- `vim.highlight` module does not follow `:help dev-name-common`, which
documents the name for "highlight" as "hl".
- Shorter names are usually preferred.
Solution:
Rename `vim.highlight` to `vim.hl`.
This is not a breaking change until 2.0 (or maybe never).
