Description

I added two capabilities to the spec:

	/**
	 * Whether the client supports tokens that can overlap each other.
	 */
	overlappingTokenSupport?: boolean;

	/**
	 * Whether the client supports tokens that can span multiple lines.
	 */
	multilineTokenSupport?: boolean;

The example in the documentation doesn't address the above. An example would be good.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the LSP specification for the client capabilities and write example JSON snippets demonstrating overlappingTokenSupport and multilineTokenSupport. Ensure the examples are clear and fit the existing documentation style.
