They already had that, with the integer cookie representing the
directory ("/etc", in the example), as was a bit obvious, or else
returning the relative path ("hosts" in the example) wouldn't have
worked either.

That is, I was suggesting returning:

	{cookie-of-/etc,EVENT_MODIFY,inode-number-of-hosts-file}

instead of:

	{cookie-of-/etc,EVENT_MODIFY,"hosts"}
