Only the default Windows Defender is on my machine, but it cannot
be configured, so a binary is "exempt from having all the files
they open examined". I can exclude processes from the check, or
directories, so in this case excluding source directories seemed
to be the way to go.

This made Dumb Jump usable for me on Windows. Dumb Jump is a code
navigation package which does not require building tags tables at
all (so they can't go out of sync), because ripgrep is so quick
that it simply greps the code to find the relevant location when
you want jump to it and it's instantaneous, especially after the
first run when the OS caches the source files in memory.
