This is not related to background indexing, but instead the optional background compilation feature that runs a build task on save. Essentially when `swift.backgroundCompilation.useDefaultTask` is enabled, any `swift` task marked as the default "build" group task will be used instead of the Build All task. This way the whole world is not built for large projects. Issue: swiftlang#1320
- Setting `swift.backgroundCompilation` to `true` was causing the value of `swift.backgroundCompilation.useDefaultTask` to be ignored
Object will accept `enabled`, `release`, and `useDefaultTask` properties
