Currently the FSEvents backend supports watching single files, the inotify backend doesn't.

Go's fsnotify, Ruby's Listen, Facebook's Watchman and others also do not support watching single files.

Phase 0 of this feature is research:

  • What is the reason behind lack of support in others?
  • What are libraries that do have support?
  • What are challenges for an implementation?
  • Is this doable in a backend-independent manner?

If that last point can be answered by yes, another question is whether this behaviour would be better done in a separate package.
