[Bug 28502] Add file event watching.

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28502

--- Comment #2 from Arun <arun@mozilla.com> ---
There are a few moving parts here that are worth talking about:

1. The gradual "de-emphasizing" of events on the web. This is a bit subjective,
but it seems to me that adding a new type of event is no longer in vogue given
other developments.

2. The Streams API: https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/

There's an open issue for me to consider it in FileSystem API:
https://github.com/w3c/filesystem-api/issues/2

(that's https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/).

If developed correctly, maybe that would answer this use case; but, that's hard
to say right now, since the API is in flux.

3. JS Observables, possibly in ECMAScript:
https://github.com/jhusain/observable-spec

which we refer to in the FileSystem API as a placeholder.
