Stop writing milliseconds and hating JavaScript's setTimeout & setInterval

I could see this being really useful if it could message a javascript event bus. Maybe use it for deciding when to synch browser data with server data or to modulate the messaging between different users browsers. The statelessness of http creates many timing related problems.

On a side note: when is one of these big companies going to release a really advanced "jquery for webkit" that forgets about the browser incompatibilities and focuses on building a virtual operating system in the browser? Google, Apple, Netflix? Anyone?

Thanks for the idea but that's definitely much more complex than what I had in mind: just encouraging people to use more readable JS timers.

Feel free to build on top of my code though!
