Support late resolution of symbol (reference) information

[akosyakov]

It would be nice if a location and a container of symbol are resolved later. In our case we have an index of symbols but it is missing information about locations, so to compute them we have to load models for all found symbols. I assume that locations are required for navigation and their can be computed on demand later. The same should be true for references.

Good point. This is currently possible for completion items and code actions but not for symbol references.

Yes please!

Any update on this feature request? The WorkspaceSymbolProvider.resolveWorkspaceSymbol have this feature but not on the language protocol side.

@yaohaizh this is also possible in a push manner instead of pull with #182

@felixfbecker, thanks. Will look into the streaming methods.

@yaohaizh let me know what you think! you can find a list of language servers that support streaming on http://langserver.org/
