  <p>Coalescing events. Events are usually processed by batchs, their size 
  depend on various factors. Thus, before processing them, events received 
  from inotify are aggregated in a fifo queue. If this coalescing option is
  enabled events are filtered based on their unicity, only unique events 
  are enqueued, doublons are discarded. An event is unique when the 
  combination of its fields (wd, mask, cookie, name) is unique among events
  of a same batch. After a batch of events is processed any events is 
  accepted again. By default this option is disabled, you have to explictly
