* You can also define your own event lists (the &event_list structure), enqueue your
* events in them and explicitly ask to run them.

* Timers are resources which represent a wish of a module to call

* doesn't guarantee the exact timing, only that a timer function
* won't be called before the requested time.
*
* In BIRD, real time is represented by values of the &bird_clock_t type
* which are integral numbers corresponding to a number of seconds since
* a fixed (but platform dependent) epoch. The current time can be read
* from a variable @now with reasonable accuracy.
*
* Each timer is described by a &timer structure containing a pointer
* to the handler function (@hook), data private to this function (@data),
* time the function should be called at (@expires, 0 for inactive timers),
* for the other fields see |timer.h|.
