/**
 * Causes all calls to PsiSearchHelper.getUseScope to exclude BUILD files, when searching for files.
 * <br>
 * BUILD file / BUILD package references are handled by a separate reference searcher.
 *
 * <p>This is a hack, but greatly improves efficiency. The reasoning behind this:
 * <li>BUILD files have very strict file reference patterns, and very narrow direct reference scopes
 *     (a package can't directly reference files in another package).
 * <li>IJ *constantly* performs global searches on strings when manipulating files (e.g. searching
 *     for file uses for highlighting, rename, move operations). This causes us to re-parse every
 *     BUILD file in the project, multiple times.
