// An Alarm fires a callback after a certain amount of time, or at
// regular intervals. It's a convenient replacement for
// setTimeout/Interval when you don't want to bind to a specific
// window.
//
// The ConditionalAlarm is an Alarm that cancels itself if its callback 
// returns a value that type-converts to true.
//
// Example:
//
//  function foo() { dump('hi'); };
//  new G_Alarm(foo, 10*1000);                   // Fire foo in 10 seconds
//  new G_Alarm(foo, 10*1000, true /*repeat*/);  // Fire foo every 10 seconds
//  new G_Alarm(foo, 10*1000, true, 7);          // Fire foo every 10 seconds
//                                               // seven times
//  new G_ConditionalAlarm(foo, 1000, true); // Fire every sec until foo()==true
//
//  // Fire foo every 10 seconds until foo returns true or until it fires seven
//  // times, whichever happens first.
//  new G_ConditionalAlarm(foo, 10*1000, true /*repeating*/, 7);
//
// TODO: maybe pass an isFinal flag to the callback if they opted to
// set maxTimes and this is the last iteration?
