couldn't the method names be the same and the constructor use a special key
to save the data? then the primary watcher would have access to that
with the data method and any subclassed ones would work fine too.

i beg to differ. i had no intentions of subclassing watchers and i wanted
the data method. it should be handled at the constructor level as well,
either via graham's multiple methods or my scheme (if it works).
