Thanks for looking into the feature.  The same thought occurred to me
about merging.  This would constitute a POLA change that would probably
not be allowed in any stable branch :-(.

We already do that in the since we set (NOTE_WRITE | NOTE_EXTEND |
NOTE_ATTRIB | NOTE_LINK) to watch for "changed" events.  If we remove
NOTE_ATTRIB from the list, we will lose chmod/chown and touch events.
