Description
Rust analyzer is pretty heavyweight, so I'd like to run a persistent copy that neovim can use without the startup/teardown cycle each time I jump into an editor.
Ideally multiple instances of an IDE should be able to use the same LSP as well, further reducing redundant work.
I haven't found any issue even mentioning this, so opening this feature request for it.
ra-multiplex is worth mentioning as relevant; it can proxy the current stdio interface into TCP ports, but not without another layer of complexity in between.
Contributor guide

Research direction
Start by reading the issue description and the linked ra-multiplex project to understand how it proxies the current stdio interface into TCP ports. Determine the design needed for a persistent Rust-analyzer instance that multiple IDE instances can share. Done means Rust-analyzer supports TCP-based use without an external proxy layer.
