This file should be saved as app/commands/WatchCommand.php.
The WatchCommand class is a step up from the BuildCommand class in that it processes asset files
similarly. Where it excels is in how it is able to watch the individual files in app/config/*/asset.php.
When a Watcher targets a specific file (with the $watcher->watch() method); it generates a
Listener. Listeners can have events bound to them (as is the case with the onModify() event listener
method).
When these files change, the processed asset files they form part of are rebuilt, using the same logic
as in the build command.
