    No. I don't think this is going to be a suitable solution, as if = is allowed in the comparison, the very same file will be triggered multiple times.
    
    Note that the older and deprecated `FileMonitoringFunction` solves this situation by having a map of filenames to modification times. More robust but also more expensive memory-wise. A limit to a possible map could be given in `LinkedHashMap` with `removeEldestEntry`.
