bug#50816: 28.0.50; [eglot] Nonstandard SymbolKind values for imenu

[João Távora]

From  reading the original description, I do think this is more about LSP than Eglot.

I haven't given much thought into it, but I don't think Eglot can do anything

reasonable outside the standard here. And even if it could, not sure if it should. 

I'd venture to say that this should be brought up with Microsoft's specification

instead.

This was almost a year ago, so I'm not sure whether it's still relevant,
but in case it is -- João, do you have any comments here?
