Inlay hints are small text annotations to specific parts of the whole
buffer, not unlike diagnostics, but designed to help readability
instead of indicating problems. For example, a C++ LSP server can
serve hints about positional parameter names in function calls and a
variable's automatically deduced type. Emacs can display these hints
in many little 0-length overlays with an 'before-string property, thus
helping the user remember those types and parameter names.
Since inlay hints are potentially a large amount of data to request
from the LSP server, the implementation strives to be as parsimonious
as possible with these requests.
So, by default, inlay hints are only requested for the visible
portions of the buffer across windows showing this buffer. This is
done by leveraging the 'window-scroll-functions' variable, making for
a reasonably complex implementation involving per-window timers. When
scrolling a window, it may take a short amount of time for inlay hints
to "pop in". The new user variable 'eglot-lazy-inlay-hints' can be
used to exert some control over this.
Specifically, if the variable's value is set to 'nil', then inlay
hints are greedily fetched for the whole buffer every time a change
occurs. This is a much simpler mode of operation which may avoid
problems, but is also likely much slower in large buffers.
Also, because the inlay feature is probably visually suprising to
some, it is turned OFF by default, which is not the usual practice of
Eglot (at least not when the necessary infrastructure is present).
This decision may be changed soon. Here's a good one-liner for
enabling it by default in every Eglot-managed buffer:
I haven't tested inlay hints extensively across many LSP servers, so I
would appreciate any testing, both for functional edge cases and
regarding performance. There are possibly more optimization
oportunities in the "lazy" mode of operation, like more aggressively
deleting buffer overlays that are not in visible parts of the buffer.

Eglot: respect user's Eldoc configuration by default
In that commit, I did what many longstanding issues and users were
suggesting and removed Eglot's override of two Eldoc user
configuration varibles.
I verified that Eglot's behaviour would stay mostly unaltered but my
tests were very incomplete. In short there is no way that Eglot can
work acceptably with the default setting of
'eldoc-documentation-strategy', which is
'eldoc-documentation-default'. So it must be changed, either globally
or locally in Eglot's minor mode.
This is true for any situation where both synchronous and asynchronous
documentation sources are present. In Eglot's case there are two
asynchronous sources which have more importance than the synchronous
source. So any other strategy except the
'eldoc-documentation-default' makes sense.
* lisp/progmodes/eglot.el (eglot--managed-mode): Set

In one form or another, the reports point out that the multiple pieces
of information about the "thing at point" made available by the LSP
server are not all being considered by the ElDoc system.
The reason for this is Eglot setting/trampling the variables
'eldoc-documentation-strategy' and 'eldoc-documentation-functions' in
its minor more entry function.
The reason it did that is historical and is partially described in the
issues above. But, evidently, it never made much sense, because so
many people want to override it, which requires setting
'eldoc-documentation-strategy' to the non-default value
'eldoc-documentation-compose'.
The problem was made worse by the fact that setting it as usual in
either the Customize menu or their init file didn't work, requiring a
fairly complex Elisp snippet. That is now solved as of this commit.
If the user does not do any setting, then Eglot works basically the
same as before (i.e. shows only one piece of information).
It is arguable that the default value for
'eldoc-documentation-strategy' should change globally to
'eldoc-documentation-compose', but that has other subtle implications
and is not part of this commit.
