There are inconsistencies among platforms in what causes {kind: 'directory', action: 'modified'} events to be emitted. On some, directory modifications are only reported when the directory entry itself has metadata like permissions changed, but others will report one each time a file within that directory is modified. We should decide on the behavior that's most "correct" and normalize to it if possible.

/cc @daviwil who hit something like this on the tree-view package today.

That is not possible, because of the limitation and difference of the different APIs.

@Trafo the entire point of this library is to abstract away those difference and provide a unified watcher across all the platforms.
