Thanks for the PR!

Unfortunately, I see several issues with the PR and I don't think it'd be a good contribution. Just to name a few:

  1. I don't understand how is this relevant to express-generator docs (at best, it'd be a different section in docs)
  2. Now that node --watch is stable, this might be favored (although, I might be wrong, not sure if they map 1:1)
  3. Your example doesn't even work, as the main entry file is not server.js with express-generator (as shown in the docs)
