Watchers can only ever be active in one loop at a time. When a watcher
is stopped, though, it's completely detached from the loop, so you could
then assign it to another loop.

Yes, it's not so common in event loops, but since libev tries to go for
small size, it doesn't store the loop inside the watcher unless necessary.
