Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Something happened after installing Go 1.18 to drive Microsoft Defender's Antimalware Service Executable nuts every time staticcheck or such is invoked, resulting in audio choking and other such things which make Linux users sigh in pity. I noticed I can disable this with setting "go.lintOnSave": "off" while Microsoft's cloud security learns of these newly built binaries to eventually fix the problem. Thereby I encountered the setting's description:

Describe the solution you'd like
Write an actual explanation regarding how the options other than "off" are different from each other. What am I actually setting here?

Describe alternatives you've considered
Make the educated guess that this setting decides the scope of what gets linted, even though its description fails to expressively say so.
