Hello vicious is a Lua library which can be used with other window
managers or for purposes other than awesome statusbar.
The register() function is simply an awesome specific helper for awesome
timers and provides some other extras.

There's a force() function provided which can be called to update a
widget on events like mouse scroll.
But let's take me as an example, sometimes I will drop a terminal to run
alsamixer. Or I can lower the volume in mplayer while watching a video.
It's useful to have some timer on vicious.widgets.volume to reflect
_those_ changes.
