Thanks, this sounds like a good addition.  Does it (or can it) work
with the built-in JSON support we have on the master branch?

And I still wonder whether more of eglot's LSP support should be in
core.  After all, only customizing LSP for a specific language should
be left for the major modes, the rest of interaction with LSP is
probably language-agnostic, right?
