Allow . to be the project root #8

I also edit scripts outside a control version system and I wanted to be able to use LSP on individual scripts

Alternatively, one could define a couple of hidden files you could create with touch xxx to mark a directory as a project root and include those in io.get_project_root(). I'm experimenting with that too. I'm using .lsp_root, but .prj_root could also be a nice candidate... less LSP-oriented, right?

So, I did it ;-). So far checked with my $HOME/bin, where I have "a couple" scripts and it works like a breeze.

I'm glad you were able to get it working for you :)

If I need a directory to be recognized as a project root, I just create a '.hg' or '.git' directory there, even if I have no intention of using version control. It's easier than defining another convention, as is being done here. Too much to keep track of... I might be open to falling back on the file's directory as an LSP root, but I'm concerned that a language server would start creating metadata directories everywhere.

Hmm good point :-) a couple of words in the README wouldn’t harm ;-)
