Description
When, during an update, we detect that exactly one file has been removed and one has been added, this is most likely a rename. We could detect that and trigger a special callback.
This can be very useful: for example in CoolLab when a node definition gets renamed we could automatically update all nodes that used that definition so that they now use the new name of that same definition, thus avoiding a "definition not found" error.

Research direction
Start by tracing how folder_watcher detects updates and exposes callbacks for added and removed files. Define the behavior for an update containing exactly one removal and one addition, then verify that a rename callback is triggered with enough information for callers to update references.
