The timer module exposes a global API for scheduling functions to
be called at some future period of time. Because the timer functions are
globals, there is no need to call require('timers') to use the API.
The timer functions within Node.js implement a similar API as the timers API
provided by Web Browsers but use a different internal implementation that is
built around the Node.js Event Loop.
