BTW, all these copies appear out of nothing: the variable watcher saw
very few timers, and then suddenly that many the next time the
WATCH-FUNCTION was called.  If they would have been added explicitly
from Lisp, I would see intermediate steps AFAIU.

I collected a backtrace from the moment of time when the variable
watcher fired (via WATCH-FUNCTION).  It was totally unrelated and I'm
quite sure that it isn't related.

After thinking about it, I think it doesn't make sense, and it also
doesn't work.
