//! Fundamentally, events in watchexec have three purposes:
//!
//! 1. To trigger the launch, restart, or other interruption of a process;
//! 2. To be filtered upon according to whatever set of criteria is desired;
//! 3. To carry information about what caused the event, which may be provided to the process.
