Access to file change and access notification.

file-notify

## About File-Notify
This is a small OS portability library to get notifications for file access and changes.

## How To
For the purpose of this tutorial we will assume ``org.shirakumo.file-notify`` has the nickname ``notify``.

Before we can even begin, we need to add a file that we want to watch.

:: common lisp
(notify:watch "~/quicklisp/")
::

Watching a directory will report all the events happening within. We can listen for them like this:

:: common lisp
(notify:with-events (file change :timeout T)
  (print (list file change)))
::

Adding, removing, or changing a file within ``~/quicklisp/`` should now show a corresponding event at the REPL.

If we no longer care about a file, it can also be ``unwatch``ed again.

For more detailed information on the behaviour and capabilities, please refer to the individual functions.
