I looked at some of the apis for file watching, allot of 1000's
of lines of oo; its badly designed c apis blah blah blah; it
belongs in the std. Id suggest 5 functions:
`void folderWatch(string path,void function(string) F)`
`void folderWatchAsync(string path,void function(string) F)`
`void fileWatch(string path,void function() F)`
`void fileWatchAsync(string path,void function() F)`
`bool hasFileBeenModified(string path)()//returns true once per
file modification, first call always returns true`
Paths should be unix supporting, `..` `~`:$HOME/%appdata%
`/`:root/C:
async version should make a thread automagicly
Passing along the full system api is irrelevant; idk why the
implimations I saw did so
etc. etc.
