Support workspace symbols

[dkasak]

FWIW, I do think this feature is invaluable when exploring an unfamiliar codebase. It's extremely useful to be able to get a quick overview of all the places a symbol is used.

A poor man's replacement via grep and friends obviously works, but it's nice not to have to weed out the false positives.

Think we can do this from #113

I went through #113 and #147. I'm still unsure how to see workspace symbols using LanguageClient-neovim. I had opened autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim#696 and got redirected here.

Pretty expensive to implement, not sure there's huge upside atm

[dkasak]

Does that mean that this feature is out of scope for this LS or just that there is currently no interest to add it?

[gatesn]

Happy to implement it if there's sufficient interest. But I think it would require leaning more heavily on Rope and I'm not sure the Rope integration is particularly well battle-tested.

[dkasak]

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification.

if there's sufficient interest

Your interest or interest from the users? If it's the latter, I can say that I miss this feature a lot. I use it often in VSCode (MPLS) and I wish it were in vim as well.

Can you checkout the #507 branch and see if it works for you?
