For example, you want to follow by name `/var/foo/bar', and `/var/foo' doesn't exist yet. To catch the event for the `bar' file creation, you will need to register a watcher on the /var directory and when the foo subdirectory is created finally watch the file. Since different files in different directories can be watched, I thought to use a tree to propagate events to children nodes. Though, if you prefer a hash table, approximately the same mechanism can be adapted without problems.
