That's what I meant. Deleting a file by intention shall take it off of
file notification. Deleting a file temporarily, due to backup,
shouldn't. I'll see how I could manage it.

Fortunately, a `deleted'+`created' sequence is already handled as
`renamed' in filenotify.el. I'll check how robust this is with all
supported backends.
