An addendum to my own agitation: if there's a way to prevent gfilenotify
from polling (or if we add Lisp polling to filenotify.el in the future),
`file-notify-add-watch' could benefit from a don't-poll flag, either as
an additional argument or as a new accepted symbol in FLAGS.  That way
we can (probably) also avoid having a
`file-notify-supported-without-polling-p'.
