  34  * POSIX timers are essentially unusable from a library: there provide no safe
  35  * way to ensure that a timer has no pending/ongoing iteration. Furthermore,
  36  * they typically require one thread per timer plus one thread per iteration,
  37  * which is inefficient and overkill (unless you need multiple iteration
  38  * of the same timer concurrently).
  39  * Thus, this is a generic manual implementation of timers using a thread.
