That's an implementation detail, not important for this aspect of things.

The point is that the feature users will enable is a feature of parsing code
(wherever that is implemented).  It is generally better to talk with users
in terms that make sense at the user's level.

People have pointed out that Semantic also parses code.
Perhaps we should think of Eglot and Semantic as two methods
by which Emacs implementrs one feature (parsing code).

We could have a Parse Code feature which uses can enable.  For some
actions and languages, it would use Eglot, and for others it would use
Semantic, but users should not have to know about those two (unless
they are curious).

I'm talking about more than "menus".  I'm talking about how we will
describe this feature in all kinds of documentation.
