Currently there's no way to fetch real time filesystem modifications
inside webapps, both on FileLists or DirEntries. I propose to add
filesystem monitoring events to the DirEntries objects, so when a file
or directory is added, removed or modified a corresponding event would
buble on the filesystem hierarchy up to the DirEntry object where an
event listener is registered to catch it, so the webapp would act in
correspondance (hashing the files, uploading them...).
This would also be applied to the FileSystem API and the DeviceStorage
API (so for example files dropped on that folder would be uploaded and
later removed, in a mail box or printer queue style) and up to some
degree on FileList objects, too.
