It's my impression that John does not want to expose the inotify_watch
struct to kernel consumers. But maybe there's a way to handle it
that's better than what I proposed.
Is there any particular reason why, if there were a kernel API for Inotify,
that clients of that API should not be exposed to relevant Inotify structs
like inotify_watch?
