cannot start from state :stopped (ArgumentError)

This is more of a question than an issue
What are the reasons preventing the listener's interface to restart after a stop?
require "listen"
listener = Listen.to { |changes| puts changes }
listener.start
listener.stop
listener.start
# => cannot start from state :stopped (ArgumentError)

@AlexB52 I'm guessing there was concern about cleaning up state for reuse like that. Isn't it equally easy to create a new listener?
require "listen"
listener1 = Listen.to { |changes| puts changes }
listener1.start
listener1.stop
listener2 = Listen.to { |changes| puts changes }
listener2.start
