;;; Commentary:

;; This package gives you the capability to run Emacs Lisp commands at
;; specified times in the future, either as one-shots or periodically.

;;; Code:

;; Layout of a timer vector:
;; [triggered-p high-seconds low-seconds usecs repeat-delay
;;  function args idle-delay]
;; triggered-p is nil if the timer is active (waiting to be triggered),
;;  t if it is inactive ("already triggered", in theory)
