If you look at the screenshot posted by one of their founders it lists the user directory as the default whitelist: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/87728/28395021-e04... and isn't clear on uploading everything from there

Hard to read that wording and not infer it was specifically phrased like that to prevent saying "we upload literally every file, recursively, in the below directory".

Easy to see very intelligent and circumspect people interpreting "where enabled" to mean "when I ask for autocomplete" and "your code" to mean "that specific snippet" because who the hell would actually think it's cool to just carte blanche upload other people's workspaces?
