I debated this myself which is why I added the `assert`.  Honestly, if this 
fails, there is very little that can be done.  This is creating an anonymous 
(unnamed) event.  The failure here would be caused by out-of-memory conditions 
(you're dead anyways) or system is completely out of resources (you're dead 
anyways).  I don't know of any recovery in that situation.  I really would 
prefer to avoid the two-phase construction which is going to be required if we 
want to handle that error scenario.  The event only makes sense after we have 
the directory handle, so I suppose that we could setup the event prior to the 
construction of the watcher itself, but that is just as much two-phase 
construction as adding an `initialize` method.
