  I suspect we're saying "on close" when what's really meant is
"opened for write". In the latter case, the notification would tell
the user-space program to watch for changes, possibly by something as
simple as doing a stat now and another when it gets around to 
deciding if it should scan the file. I see lots of room for
user-space alternatives for change detection, depending on how much
state it keeps. Rsync-like, perhaps?
