Description

I added two capabilities to the spec:

	/**
	 * Whether the client supports tokens that can overlap each other.
	 */
	overlappingTokenSupport?: boolean;

	/**
	 * Whether the client supports tokens that can span multiple lines.
	 */
	multilineTokenSupport?: boolean;

The example in the documentation doesn't address the above. An example would be good.
