Re: [sc-dev] Timers

SkipJack has a few differences:
- the name of the class has nothing to do with "timer"
- survives cmdPeriod (as you said)
- most importantly, it always repeats, no one-shot timers

Also it's rather complex compared to a simple lightweight timer, due
to the cmdperiod-survival and storing skipjacks by name, etc. I think
SkipJack has a clear and useful purpose (periodic timer that survives
cmdPeriod), and that it would be nice with a separate simple and clear
timer class similar or equal to the one I posted, instead of extending
SkipJack.
