If I `fs.watch` a file and then save a change to it using the [Coda](http://www.panic.com/coda/) text editor, it first detect a `'rename'` event, then no further events. Coda appears to be very unusual in this respect; I haven't seen this behavior with any other Mac text editor. Maybe this is a fundamental problem with file change event notifications under Darwin; I'm not sure.
