Description

Very early/discussion-stage feature request, based on a twitter comment here:
https://twitter.com/androolloyd/status/1131215444763979776

What if MetaMask supported "subscribing" to particular events?

These can be things like:
- Tokens received
- ENS names transferred
- Payments being due

These could be added with a similar API to `watchAsset`, so sites could say "Site X would like to notify you upon event Y".
