I need to dig into inotify.c. IIRC, it wasn't simple to achieve this;
that's why we have this crude solution. Maybe it could be solved only on
filenotify.el level, don't remember the details.

I don't have time, indeed. If you want to work on this, I would
appreciate. You could always ping me if you have questions.
Pls don't forget, whatever you propose must work for at least 6
different backends: inotify, kqueue, gfilenotify, w32notify and the
remote gvfs-monitor-dir and inotifywait. Heavy tests, always.
