Optionally emit created for existing files on start up
It looks like there's some existing appetite for such a feature:

My use case:
I have APScheduler
jobs defined in files, and the callback to get the job started is the same whether the file is present at start up or created later. So it would simplify things if Watchdog
could emit an on_created
for files present on startup, and my code didn't need to care whether the file was present at start up or created afterwards.
