 * I use PhpStorm (2018.3.5), yes it is an older version, so not sure if it does
   it with the newer versions as well.
 * However, shortly after I installed this plugin PhpStorm started to reindex the
   files within the project – but it was running out of memory, which was weird 
   as this rarely happens.
 * I tried numerous things to try and work out what the problem was with no success–
   even increasing the allowed memory to PhpStorm to 6GB, which really made zero
   difference – it would get to about 60% and then max out the memory regardless
   of how much I gave it.
 * I then remembered this happened around the time I installed this plugin, so I
   uninstalled it and invalidated PhpStorms caches etc and restarted – no memory
   issues (maxed out at about 570MB).
 * To be certain I reinstalled the plugin, and as expected the memory issues came
   back.
 * I have reported this to PhpStorm / JetBrains as well, but thought I would let
   you know.
 * Cheers!
