This makes it easier to figure out how to set up code-reloading of files with a `.cjsx` extension (I'm using https://github.com/jsdf/sprockets-coffee-react).

AFAICT this will only watch files that exist when you boot your development server, new files added after that will not be watched. Wouldn't it make more sense to suggest watchable_dirs here?

Good point, fixed! Interestingly enough this approach seemed to work for me because I used Dir["#{Rails.root}/app/assets/javascripts/react/*/"]), which contained the directories too.
