+ - [fleche] New immediate request serving mode. In this mode, requests
+   are served with whatever document state we have. This is very
+   useful when we are not in continuous mode, and we don't have a good
+   reference as to what to build, for example in
+   `documentSymbols`. The mode actually works pretty well in practice
+   as often language requests will come after goals requests, so the
+   info that is needed is at hand. It could also be tried to set the
+   build target for immediate requests to the view hint, but we should
+   see some motivation for that (@ejgallego, #841)
