When is a watch added/removed?

Hi,
I'm maintaining libdbus bindings for Rust and I'm trying to improve the
watch handling. I have two questions:
1)
*dbus_connection_set_watch_functions* takes functions to add, remove and
toggle watches. I understand toggling watches can happen if read/write
buffers become full or empty, but are "add" and "remove" callbacks ever
called from anything else than dbus_connection_set_watch_functions itself?
2)
According to the documentation, a watch should not be added to the main
loop at all if it is not enabled, but is this really true - would it not
make sense to keep monitoring that fd for errors/hup/etc even though the
watch is disabled (because of filled/empty buffers)?
