I've sent https://reviews.llvm.org/D82352 to clean up some of the logic in
clangd.

No worries, it happens and nothing came of it except a little head-scratching.
Sorry for being grumpy, I shouldn't send email late at night...

One can't be used here, it means "spawn one background thread". (Clangd has
several distinct components that spawn threads).
FWIW, clangd can't be built without LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS - it needs concurrency
to be useful, and we designed around threads. Most of the threading can be
turned off *at runtime* for certain tests (that's what a threadpool size of
zero means) but not the background index - we just disable it instead.
