Hi Theo,

Can you list some servers that send this info?  And if it is not too
much trouble can write a simple recipe where supporting this feature
actually makes a difference?  Thanks.

The specification only says: "An optional command that is executed
*after* inserting this completion."  I think it is worth asking for
clarification at https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol
(I'd guess it's safer to send the command after the didChange
notification.)
