Hello again,
I think it important to correct something here.
The first timer will not be triggered 4 hours after the process got started
but 4 hours after the workitem got dispatched to the participant. Timers
are expressed relatively to the expression they adorn.
(using the old timeout to make the example more explicit)
```ruby
sequence do
wait '1h'
alpha :timeout => "2d"
bravo :timeout => "3d"
end
```
In this example,
t(process launch) <
t(application of wait) <
t(application of alpha) <
t(application of bravo)
If all goes well, alpha receives its workitem 1h and a few seconds after the
process launch. Alpha has 2 days to deal with the workitem. Bravo receives
its workitem at most 2d and 1h and a few seconds after the process launch...
Timers and timeouts are not computed relatively to process launch, they are
computed relatively to their expression's apply time.
