Hi, As far as I understand the specification, a program can call timer-start! before timer-schedule! against the same timer object, and vice versa. Is it right? If so, when a task is scheduled by timer-schedule! given a positive integer as parameter 'when', Is the elasped milliseconds to start the task is measured from the timing at when timer-schedule! called, or at when timer-start! called? In other words I wonder why timer-start! is necessary at all. For example, java.util.Timer http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Timer.html has no corresponding method to timer-start!, because it is in action immediately after constructed.
