For example, at least up-front, it sounds like the LSP specification
supports both fontifications and indentation. Eglot, AFAICT, allows
to request the language server to do the latter (via the eglot-format
command), but doesn't support requesting information about token
types, which could be used for fontification.
So, at least in principle, the functionalities based on these two
could overlap. If that is indeed so, we'd need to decide whether we
support the overlapping functionalities or use each one of these
packages for capabilities that are disjoint, whereby each
functionality is supported by the package that does it best (for some
value of "best").
