I agree.  I suspect that this has been avoided because scheduling is
what operating systems do, and "Vim is not a shell or an Operating
System."  However, there are tasks properly in the domain of a
powerful text editor that need this stuff; a syntax-colouring tail -f
has been my experience of this.
