+For `initializationOptions`, `rust-analyzer` expects `"rust-analyzer"` section of the configuration.
 That is, `rust-analyzer` usually sends `"workspace/configuration"` request with `{ "items": ["rust-analyzer"] }` payload.

+ * Not sending `initializationOptions`
+ * Send `"initializationOptions": null`
+ * Send `"initializationOptions": {}`
