  /**
   * Efficiently watches the given `roots` folders for changes. Any time the
   * filesystem is modified within those folders, the `onEvent` callback is
   * called with the paths to the changed files or folders.
   *
   * Once the call to `watch` returns, `onEvent` is guaranteed to receive a
   * an event containing the path for:
   *
   * - Every file or folder that gets created, deleted, updated or moved
   *   within the watched folders
   *
   * - For copied or moved folders, the path of the new folder as well as
   *   every file or folder within it.
   *
   * - For deleted or moved folders, the root folder which was deleted/moved,
   *   but *without* the paths of every file that was within it at the
   *   original location
   *
   * Note that `watch` does not provide any additional information about the
   * changes happening within the watched roots folder, apart from the path
   * at which the change happened. It is up to the `onEvent` handler to query
   * the filesystem and figure out what happened, and what it wants to do.
