I'll take it. After discussing this issue with the original author, it has become more apparent why he requested this feature.

Users want to track log files of applications that has a rotation mechanism. They can't specify an absolute path to log files because applications create such files during work.

The leading case is tracking of IIS log files.

I should implement two mechanics:

finding all log files using the user's specified pattern during module initialization and configuration;
tracking new files created with paths matching the users' pattern after file_reader's initialization.

For the latter, I will utilize Windows's filesystem notification API.
