Description
rust-analyzer reports the current crate being indexed as:
foo + n more
And there's absolutely no way to see what the "+ n more" are. Clicking on it in VSCode gives no extra information.
When a crate is being particularly slow to index, it's hard to tell which crate it is because of this.
Can I have a way to see everything currently being indexed?
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by tracing how rust-analyzer reports the currently indexed crate and how that status is presented in VSCode. Make the complete set of crates currently being indexed inspectable, including the crates hidden behind "+ n more", and verify that a slow indexing operation identifies the relevant crate.
