Watches and main loops

Eh, I got no responses...

Let me repeat one of the questions which matters the most:

> dbus_watch_get_flags() is documented to return a subset of
> DBUS_WATCH_READABLE and DBUS_WATCH_WRITABLE. Is it true that it always
> contains either DBUS_WATCH_READABLE or DBUS_WATCH_WRITABLE, but not
> both? It seems to be true in practice, and there is a rationale (either
> direction can be toggled independently, assuming that a watch never
> changes its flags once created, and I am making use of this assumption).
> 
> If it was always true and documented as such, then I could make a minor
> simplification in my binding code. Actually I already make a minor
> violation: if dbus_watch_get_flags() lists both directions (which I
> suppose is impossible) and fd is ready in both directions, then I make
> two dbus_watch_handle() calls, each reporting only one direction.
