Description

Is there a way to find out whether a server has registered the workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles capability.
I thought I could add a onRequest call to catch this but then realised this was overriding the onRequest call setup internally.

Research direction

Start by tracing the internal onRequest setup and how the workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles capability is registered or exposed. Done means determining whether a server registered that capability without overriding the internal onRequest handler, and documenting or implementing the supported way to check it.
