Native File System notifications

native-file-system-notifications.txt
> A huge huge huge part of file-system management & capabilities as we use them is being notified about when something changes. Without this, awful awful awful terrible badly performing highly costly & deeply inadequate hacks grow up like weeds, all over the place, as bad terrible coders do an awful job of probing around to figure out "what has changed?". Huge amounts of engineering effort have gone into trying to tackle this issue. Works like node-watch (attempting to fill the painful dx gaps in node's fs.watch being non recursive) & watchman grow like weeds, consuming developer year after developer year of time to make maintain & sustain.
