 =item w->start ()
 
 Starts the watcher. Note that there is no C<loop> argument, as the
 constructor already stores the event loop.
 
+=item w->start ([arguments])
+
+Instead of calling C<set> and C<start> methods separately, it is often
+convenient to wrap them in one call. Uses the same type of arguments as
+the configure C<set> method of the watcher.

 =item w->stop ()
 
 Stops the watcher if it is active. Again, no C<loop> argument.
