There is a lot I don't know, which is why I am asking question after question.

That's the pedantic way of looking on it -- in terms of implementation
details.

In the user's terms, though, in any editing session, Eglot supports
certain language and not others.  The user may not know why, but perse
sees that Eglot works for A and doesn't work for B.

It sounds like the commands for using Semantic on a file may be very
different from the commands for using Eglot on that same file.
Is that right?

It sounds like we have created a lot of complexity that it would
be better to replace with simpler, more uniform interfaces.

Is that possible in principle?

Could we have something comparable to GUD and VC to unify these parsing
facilities?
