Thanks Zefram! That does indeed work fine. I'm sorry I can't answer your
question in return ... ;-)
Out of curiosity, is there some idiom/pattern/JAPH/etc which uses this
behaviour? So far as I can see, I'd find it hard to call ->again on these
watchers, since I've not kept a reference to them anywhere; I'd have to go
in via Event::all_watchers() and find the one I wanted manually.
Or is this just a side-effect of the implementation?
Cheers!
Andy
