Whatever the tool is, the choices for it are to allow changing some configuration at the init time or while running. Just realized that we're removing the compileCommandsDir for that specific reason, sorry for being out of context here. The atom-ide-cpp use case is somewhat special anyway, since it ends up reading a file in a format we already support, albeit having a different name from the one clangd would expect (correct me if I'm wrong on this one). In the long-run it seems better to communicate to the users that they should rename the file to make clangd work rather than add this (a bit different and more powerful?) extension to clangd. We're aiming to allow users change their compile flags while running clangd anyway (assuming we're gonna get the file watches in at some point), so, again, in the long-run I don't see why that would complicate things. But sympathetic to keeping the code simpler anyway.
