For each watch request, we launch a separate worker thread. The
worker thread runs the watch_worker function, which issues an
- asynchronous call to ReadDirectoryChangesW, and then waits in
- SleepEx for that call to complete. Waiting in SleepEx puts the
- thread in an "alertable" state, so it wakes up when either (a) the
- call to ReadDirectoryChangesW completes, or (b) the main thread
