    In case people are taking notes for "inotify ng" I have one improvement
    request. Add some way to know when a move event is complete. Currently if
    you're just wathing the source or target directory of a move you only get
    one of the MOVED_FROM/MOVED_TO events. Not knowing whether you'll
    eventually receive the other half of the event is problematic when you
    want to treat such unpaired events the same as DELETE/CREATE events.
