Ok, after discussing this, we concluded that we won't officially allow
it at this time - while it would work with the current code, we don't
consider the use case (copying memory blocks with watchers in them) big
enough to outweigh the commitment this would put on future versions.

This means that currently, you have to "copy" the watchers by calling
ev_TYPE_init on the new watcher structure.
