Description
-----------

Defines the debounce interval used by :ref:`policyWatch
<param-mmjsontransform-policywatch>`. Each new file event resets the timer, so
rapid updates are coalesced into one later reload.

Supported suffixes are ``ms``, ``s``, ``m``, and ``h``. Bare numbers are
interpreted as seconds.
