Back-compat is certainly the sticking point. Doc improvement would certainly help, if nothing else arises - no question. The rest of your logic makes sense also.
Another technique for changing interfaces to existing functionality is to simply make a new version, deprecating the original over time. Could we add PIN.prototype.watch() or PIN.prototype.on() with new behavior, or would that preclude support for signals that aren't PIN's?
Obviously my approach on this is aggressive... with setWatch being such a fundamental technique, I'm highly motivated toward absolute zero on the "surprise" scale. (By the way, thanks so much for your welcoming attitude toward that pushy Randy guy) (also: no, I'm not a farmer).
If can, can. If no can, no can. :)
