Any changes you make in subproject directories will be kept as-is;
Meson only initializes them and will not try to update them (yet), so
you can apply your patches to the subproject directory manually for
testing.

In the future, we want to improve this workflow, of course.

Yes, I believe someone else also requested that and it should be
really easy to add via a new kwarg called 'languages:`:
