I really wish I COULD use an fd handler, timer, or event on a series of file renames, deletions, and especially syncs. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do it all with callbacks, and could not find any such solution. At least not anything would not make the code way harder to understand. Having the code be easy to understand is a strict requirement of this project. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
