PathWatcher
Up and coming: shot check knows this class and its members today, and programs run it once the native runtime lands.
Up and coming
Know when a file or folder appears, disappears or changes in a folder you watch.
PathHandler:WatchAsync(options) gives one, a child of that PathHandler. It returns after its first look, so what is already there is known and doesn't fire. Then it looks again every Interval seconds, and a Pattern can limit it to matching names.
