Motive:

  • make watch → concurrent a_watch and b_watch.
  • Each task has -c to clear on restart.
  • Each task runs immediately.
  • a_watch fails and prints debug output.
  • b_watch clears the terminal, suppressing the initial debug output from a_watch.
  • The failure is hidden.

This is technically possible in the library 2.0 as of now; whether it makes sense to add a cli option for it is another story.

Perhaps it should be the default behavior for -c? In build systems that run many watchers simultaneously, clearing the terminal on launch is hazardous.
