    Funny thing, I have totally found it out by accident, while looking through ycmd PRs and issues to check whether it supports LSP CodeActions provided by clangd. In this PR, which doesn't seem really ground-breaking, the maintainer mentioned that the code actions will be exposed via FixIt subcommand. I immediately switched to Vim to check whether it actually works, and BAH! There it is!
