It might be worth keeping a "debug message" there, gated by a new
variable eglot--debug (boolean or integer). So we can turn on messages
when we need to debug something.

Or just keep it commented out; it's easy enough to run eval-defun after
uncommenting.

Ok. Since that rules out b, I vote for d.
