+Request from the client to the server to wait for SourceKit-LSP to handle all ongoing requests and, optionally, wait for background activity to finish.
+
+This method is intended to be used in automated environments which need to wait for background activity to finish before executing requests that rely on that background activity to finish. Examples of such cases are:
+ - Automated tests that need to wait for background indexing to finish and then checking the result of request results
+ - Automated tests that need to wait for requests like file changes to be handled and checking behavior after those have been processed
+ - Code analysis tools that want to use SourceKit-LSP to gather information about the project but can only do so after the index has been loaded
+
+Because this request waits for all other SourceKit-LSP requests to finish, it limits parallel request handling and is ill-suited for any kind of interactive environment. In those environments, it is preferable to quickly give the user a result based on the data that is available and (let the user) re-perform the action if the underlying index data has changed.
