Setting this to True will ask REDCap to import records in the background; this will work similarly to the background import in the Data Import Tool. Because this flag is not supported in old REDCap versions, if you do not specify it, it will not be added to your request parameters at all and you will get the default REDCap behavior. Currently, REDCap defaults to foreground imports.

The response from a background import will look like:
{'success': True}. There is no explicit way to monitor a background import; the best idea I have so far is to include a sentinel value at the end of your records and poll for that value.Closes #307
