You should be able to specify 'watch func::*bar' where func is the name of a
function that has scope on the *bar you are interested in.

I haven't tried this myself, but 'p/x func::foo' is something I've
done too many times to count so reason leads me to believe that the
watch command should use the same evaluator, right?
