If this is the same FileSystemWatcher as I believe I saw before, it is an
intrinsic API-level functionality which provides accurate notification
to Win32 applications of *ANY* activity to any directory the application
has privileges to. If any information is lost, it's not Windows that
loses it (unless it bluescreens), but the application receiving the
notification.
