.. and yes, I realize it might actually matter. fsnotify does do
'ihold()' to hold an inode ref, and with this that would actually be
more or less pointless, because the mark would be removed _despite_
such a ref.
So maybe it's not an option to do what I suggested. I don't know the
users well enough.
