 * Introduce a new method `org.sonarsource.sonarlint.core.rpc.protocol.backend.analysis.AnalysisRpcService.shouldUseEnterpriseCSharpAnalyzer` to allow clients to know what kind of C# analyzer should be used for the analysis
   * The method returns a boolean value indicating whether the enterprise C# analyzer should be used or not
   * The method returns `true` if a binding exists for config scope AND the related connected server has the enterprise C# plugin (`csharpenterprise`) installed
-  * The method returns `true` if binding exists with a SonarQube version < 10.8 (i.e. SQ versions that do not include repackaged dotnet analyzer)
+  * The method returns `true` if binding exists with a SonarQube version < 10.8 (i.e. SQ versions that do not include repackaged dotnet analyzer) OR SonarCloud
