Gopls failing under Eglot

Demostrating Gopls failing under Eglot v0.9.5.

Instructions

1. Save init-eglot-test.el somewhere
2. Save main.go at $PWD
3. Run Emacs using:
   • GUI mode: /path/to/Emacs.app/MacOS/Emacs -Q -l test-eglot.el
   • Terminal mode: /path/to/Emacs.app/MacOS/Emacs -nw -Q -l test-eglot.el

Note

It may not fail on the first start (when e.g. go-mode is being compiled), but subsequent runs will/may fail.
