I see.  What about putting an abbreviated server name in the eglot
modeline, replacing the current project-name?  That would fit better
with supporting multiple servers anyway: there would be multiple entries
for multiple servers.

I'm not sure what a good source for an abbreviated server name would
be... perhaps we could query something from the LSP server, or put it in
eglot-server-programs?
