-// TODO: Most probably splitting this method to a separate thread will visibily
-// improve throughput of our watch machinery. So what we should do is to:
-// - OnEvent handler simply put an element to channel
-// - processEvent be another goroutine processing events from that channel
-// Additionally, if we make this channel buffered, cacher will be more resistant
-// to single watchers being slow - see cacheWatcher::add method.
