+//
+// Multiple worktrees can map to the same language server for example when you jump to the definition

+// for a given worktree and language server name
+//
+// When starting a language server, first the id map is checked to make sure a server isn't already available
+// for that worktree. If there is one, it finishes early. Otherwise, a new id is allocated and and
+// the Starting variant of LanguageServerState is stored in the language_servers map.
