Any plans to support file change notifications?

I'm implementing the language server protocol (https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol) for vimscript and would like to listen to file changes so that I can restart the language server if the config file (tsconfig.json or tslint.json) changes or send an update to the server if source files (**/*.ts|**/*.tsx) changes.

vscode allows to pass glob format for watching (https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/extensions/example-language-server)


fileEvents: workspace.createFileSystemWatcher('**/.clientrc')

Neovim currently has some discussions about it at https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1380 including a WIP PR at https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/1791
