It is sometimes useful to watch 1. only a single file or 2. every file in Acme. The “-X regexp” option is analogous to Edit X/regexp/. The idioms for the use cases above are: 1. Watch -X $% cmd… 2. Watch -X . cmd… I've considered adding the complementary -Y flag, but it seemed less useful.

This is a prove-of-concept of a feature I often find useful. I'm
wondering whether others would find this useful as well.
