 If you have enough free disk space and you would like to be able to run `x.py` commands while
 rust-analyzer runs in the background, you can also add `--build-dir build-rust-analyzer` to the
 `overrideCommand` to avoid x.py locking.
 
 If you're running `coc.nvim`, you can use `:CocLocalConfig` to create a

 If running `./x.py check` on save is inconvenient, in VS Code you can use a [Build
