How does watchfiles handle IN_Q_OVERFLOW if the inotify buffer ever overflows? #348

Hi,

Sorry if I'm not yet seeing this in the code or understand the Rust Notify library as completely as desired...

... but how does watchfiles respond to IN_Q_OVERFLOW events in the case when the inotify buffer (e.g. under linux) overflows and is insufficient to handle file event volumes?

Is a rescan automatically triggered? how?

Thanks a bunch,
Rick
