T. R. Bernstein 3c852a565c Deliver an event enum with the queue overflow as its own case
The stream's element is now the enum InotifyEvent, and the struct that
describes a change to a watched item is FileSystemEvent. A queue
overflow was an event with descriptor -1 and an empty path that every
consumer had to know about; as a case, the compiler makes them handle
it. The enum is also where failed watches of a growing tree will be
reported, since no call site can catch them.
