It is more simple to implement for some Tramp file name handlers. For
example, in the smb case I have mapped file-notify-supported-p to
ignore. But of course I could implement it differently, let
file-notify-add-watch return with a file-notify-error in that case.

I have no heavy preference for or against file-notify-supported-p.
