Yeah, go ahead and call Log::Log4Perl->init all day.  You'll get the
same functionality that init_and_watch does when it reloads a changed
config.

Yes, all your $logger objects are still good (assuming you haven't
un-supported them in your new config).  The existing singleton objects
stay the same, but the coderefs they contain have been updated with the
new behavior.
