In this matter, the LSP approach may be more efficient, since it
transmits only changes/differences, and should (in principle) handle the
encoding troubles.

But I don't understand what's stopping these tree-sitter C modules (like
[1] and [2]) to have access to the buffer's contents directly and have
the best of both worlds.
