Option to ignore filesystem changes caused by current process

hfsevents supports it. I don't know whether the APIs on other platforms do, so I'd include a caveat that the option is expected to be a no-op on non-Darwin OSes.

inotify(7) specifically says:

The inotify API provides no information about the user or process that triggered the inotify event. In particular, there is no easy way for a process that is monitoring events via inotify to distinguish events that it triggers itself from those that are triggered by other processes.

I am not opposed to this if someone is willing to do the work.
