An addendum to my own agitation: if there's a way to prevent gfilenotify from polling (or if we add Lisp polling to filenotify.el in the future), `file-notify-add-watch' could benefit from a don't-poll flag, either as an additional argument or as a new accepted symbol in FLAGS. That way we can (probably) also avoid having a `file-notify-supported-without-polling-p'. Davis -- This product is sold by volume, not by mass.
