but the arguments and api and callbacks are identical. i want to
highlight that consistancy. and it is short enough to be one rfc.

no totally. i don't see any easy way to support multiple timers without
loading in some parts of AIO. and yes, that is implementation but i see
those things as i design the language level stuff and i can't hide from
it. you would get multiple timers only if you get AIO as i am descibing it.

also if you are timed out of an async I/O call in an eval block and you
die in the callback that would be very similar to the simple timer
breaking out.
