Oh... help-at-pt... yes that one needs love (and maybe integration with
eldoc-mode).

I could also imagine auto-enabling Eglot when the circumstances are
right (e.g. when the major modes's own support code is not very well
developed, and when we can see that a good LSP server is available)
making even `M-x eglot` unnecessary.
