/// A "timer heap" used to power separately owned instances of `Delay`.
///
/// This timer is implemented as a priority queued-based heap. Each `Timer`
/// contains a few primary methods which which to drive it:
///
/// * `next_wake` indicates how long the ambient system needs to sleep until it
///   invokes further processing on a `Timer`
/// * `advance_to` is what actually fires timers on the `Timer`, and should be
///   called essentially every iteration of the event loop, or when the time
///   specified by `next_wake` has elapsed.
/// * The `Future` implementation for `Timer` is used to process incoming timer
///   updates and requests. This is used to schedule new timeouts, update
///   existing ones, or delete existing timeouts. The `Future` implementation
///   will never resolve, but it'll schedule notifications of when to wake up
///   and process more messages.
///
/// Note that if you're using this crate you probably don't need to use a
/// `Timer` as there is a global one already available for you run on a helper
/// thread. If this isn't desirable, though, then the
/// `TimerHandle::set_fallback` method can be used instead!
