Discussed offline a bit. We should be judicious with intrusive changes to 
support out-of-tree clients, and this interface seems a bit messy.

There are alternatives with advantages:

1. less intrusive: clients can create a context before calling addDocument and 
observe its death to know that there will be no more notifications. This is a 
bit subtle, we can add a test.
2. avoid the special case: we could store diagnostics so we can always emit 
them (move out of ParsedAST). I actually think they belong in ParsedAST, and 
this is a bit wasteful, so not sure about this.
3. address the use case directly: the client wants to know what's going on with 
the file. We could define a per-file status structure, and send the client a 
stream of updates. (Via LSP: a notification like diagnostics themselves). This 
can be used for "is building", "has a fallback CompileCommand", etc. And debug 
info: size in index, AST size, preamble size...

My preference would be pushing clients towards 1 for now and getting to 3 
eventually.
