LibTmux.Server.DisplayMessageAsync(request: DisplayMessageRequest, cancellationToken: CancellationToken) -> Task<IReadOnlyList<string>?>
```

Shows a message on a client.

tmux reports a bad format on its error stream rather than by failing, so
a message it would not render is logged and answered with nothing.

## Parameters

- `request` (`DisplayMessageRequest`): What to show, and how.
- `cancellationToken` (`CancellationToken`): Cancels the tmux command.

## Returns

The rendered text when it was asked for, and null otherwise.
