Oh, I like this idea. It looks like this can ben done rather easily on platforms that support libdispatch by creating a dispatch source of type DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_VNODE. There are also FSEvents on the Mac, but it can only monitor a directory whereas DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_VNODE lets you monitor specific files.

I agree, and I have some thoughts there too. I'll file a separate bug.
