Goals

• Easy, inuitive way to select files to watch
  • Regular expressions (#1)
  • Globs
    • Both via your shell and via Rust internals, pick your poison!
  • Explicit file paths
• Sensible GNU make interop (#4)
• Simple, out-of-the-way API
  • It's a simple problem. Therefore, keep the solution simple, too, stupid.
