I seem to recall HUP having some trouble with -httpd (and less
so with nntpd/imapd); or at least that's what -daemon(8) manpage
alludes to...
I usually just swap between "@foo" and "@bar" systemd units, but I
restart more often for code changes than config file changes.

Yes, a systemd.path unit might be the way to go. A patch for
examples/ would be appreciated if you go down that route :>
