Actually, why distinguish them? It's not valid to call add_watch with a
file handle, only with sockets, under most os'es, and...

ah, no, also with pipes (oops, I wonder whta glib will do with pipes -
likely it doesn't work because it tries to buffer them).

But as it is broken anyway I guess it's quite unnecessary to support anythig
besides sockets there, except maybe for an error message if you pass in the
wrong kind of handle.
