Description
The protocol defines quite some message which are executed on a text document (e.g. folding ranges, document links, colors, ...). Clients usually send these request after a timeout ask the server to recompute the responses after the user typed. Since these request require to reconcile the AST and even may be resolving symbols it would be useful for a server to know that a client will ask for on of these requests. To support such an optimization we should look into batch n requests. Two ideas:
- have special LSP level notifications for this. This is comparable to begin/end transaction in DBs.
- use JSON RPC Batching (https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#batch). Downside is that most RPC libraries have no support for this.

Research direction
No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named. Start by comparing the two proposed approaches—the LSP-level notifications and JSON-RPC batching—and read the linked JSON-RPC batching specification; done requires a decided, specified batching mechanism for these requests.
