Summary

Currently setInterval with a value less than 1 is clamped to 1. This intent 
removes that restriction. Before: setInterval(..., 0) -> 1ms delay. After: 
setInterval(..., 0) -> 0ms delay. Notes: * This has no effect on the 4ms 
clamping for nested calls to timeouts. * setTimeout clamping was removed in a 
previous intent.

Interoperability and Compatibility

Firefox already does not clamp setInterval to 1ms. Chromium-based browsers have 
not clamped setTimeout since 2022:

 Webkit removed clamping of setTimeout:

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
