Description

Roslyn has a hidden diagnostic severity that's used to fade out text when they can be optional removed. Things like unused usings, or when this. is not required.

It would be great to have a way to say a diagnostic is hidden for LSP servers.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the protocol's diagnostic severity definition and the Roslyn hidden severity behavior described in the issue. Determine how LSP servers should represent diagnostics that can be visually faded, and consider the protocol changes needed so clients can consume that information; done means the behavior is specified and supported consistently.
