Description
I've come to this repo because I've seen a project which refers to it to create a language server.
After spending a while digging around, it's not obvious to me whether this is meant to be a language server for the C# language (which the project I've seen has hijacked), or a library that can be used to write a language server implemented in .NET (for any language). My assumption is that it's the latter, but I think it would be worth making it obvious with a sentence or two at the beginning of the README.
One example could be "csharp-language-server-protocol is a library that makes it easy to create language servers (and clients) that run on .NET, by abstracting away boilerplate. It can be used to implement language servers for any language."
