Here, you're using eglot-workspace-configuration, a mechanism intended
for project-specific configuration (5.2 Project-specific
configuration), to effectively do user-specific configuration,
described in (5.1 User-specific configuration).

This indeed works, I've fixed the manual which previously said that
setting the variable globally "doesn't make sense".  It can be useful,
if you know what you're doing.

But I don't know if we should be recommending this over the use of
eglot-server-program + :initializationOptions as described in section
5.1 User-specific configuration.  Will see.

This is an unrelated issue which needs thinking about.  Make a bug
report and describe a reproduction for the problem you've been having.
