Actually, it can be used for many more specific jobs. Basically, any
job that requires understanding of the program's syntax and structure
can use language servers via Eglot. Someone else posted a longer list
of such jobs:

> - symbol renaming and other refactoring support
And the full list is really unbounded (although some jobs are not yet
supported by Emacs, perhaps because they are too hard or impossible
without a language server).

Yes, AFAIU.

It provides an opportunity and infrastructure for doing that.
