I have a note about adding a way that a callback can be invoked at a
certain time. I would like to know how this is going to be used, what
the requirements for this feature are.
I imagine there are two kinds of timers:
1. One-time: After N msec the callback is invoked.
2. Repating: invoke the callback every N msec
For both this will happen while waiting for a character, thus the actual
wait time will be longer if the user is typing.
Example:
let timer = timer_add({time}, {callback} [, {repeats} [, {cookie}]])
call timer_stop(timer)
func MyTimerCallback(timer, cookie)
Would that satisfy the need?
I think it would be good that if the callback causes an error the timer
is stopped.

Q. What happens to programmers when they die?
A: MS-Windows programmers are reinstalled. C++ programmers become undefined,
anyone who refers to them will die as well. Java programmers reincarnate
after being garbage collected, unless they are in permgen, in which case
they become zombies. Zimbu programmers leave a stack trace that tells us
exactly where they died and how they got there.
