Research direction

Start by reading the lsif function and tracing how it visits the entire program and constructs the graph. Determine what incremental update behavior would need to preserve and how completion could be verified; the issue names no files, tests, or concrete acceptance criteria.

Description

feature-request

I am still pretty new to the repo and others have probably brought this up already, but how hard would it be to incrementally update the constructed LSIF graph? Currently I only see an lsif function that seems to visit the entire program each time.
