Exactly.  Or any type of background processing, for that matter.
So, if this is a principle, the check for `this-command`, as I proposed
it in a patch,should suffice

This doesn't change the fact that jsonrpc.el's use of `read-only-mode`
should probably be replaced by a simple setting of buffer-read-only,
but it could avoid the change to eglot when it calls `gfm-view-mode`.
Though maybe that change could be there, too.
