```
public interface FileEvent
extends Event
```
An event that is produced to indicate the presence of a file or a sub-directory. This may be a file or a directory that has been been created in a special folder.
These events are usually not serialisable.
To allow for event handling chains for the very same event, some issues need to be respected when handling a PathEvent:
- The file must not be changed unless the event handler is consuming and indicates this consumption when handling the event.
