It might be weird to add var args, since the streaming case would always be
to watch a directory (not list a bunch of files). I think its fine to leave it
out for now.
This is existing, but its a little odd that the methods in this file talk
about `loading files` rather than `watching directories of files and processing
them as they appear`.
