According to the Ada Language Server developers, clients usually use a
minimal diff algorithm for applying edits which allows the cursor to
be put at the correct location.  Apparently, this is what VSCode and
GNATstudio both do.  According to them, this is an issue in the LSP
client, not in the server.
