This goes back to the approach that was always used with 'livereload' library (but now just using the 'watchdog' implementation of the same), meaning the same downsides with latency and CPU usage. But we have to do this to reasonably support usages that span virtual filesystems such as non-native Docker and network mounts. This also simplifies the code, as the polling observer already follows symlinks and happens to support watching paths of files directly
