I'm trying to use the file system events api, but what I'm seeing seems wierd.
Firstly, the documentation as I read it says you can store the last event id,

Well, I have no experience of this API, but perhaps it's designed to do this so
that when you restart a stream, you get an event that gives you a snapshot or
starting point for the new session.
Seems to me it would be trivial to compare the event ID and if it's the one you
