Played around with this for a few minutes to see if I could implement
one of the ideas upthread: show the date and time in the status line.
:call setinterval(200, "set stl=%{strftime('%c')}")
doesn't work because the statusline is only updated when the cursor
is moved, or on redraw.
:call setinterval(200, "set stl=%{strftime('%c')} | redraw")
does work but constantly redraws the screen which causes flickering.
Also, in this situation I would not be able to use :timers to diagnose
the situation, because the redraw clears :timers output immediately. I'd
be glad if you could show me what's wrong with my naive approach.
Anyway, I think a working real-world example would really help to show
what a plugin with timers can and can't do.
