Hi DM -

In one of my JS scripts for Synchronet, there is something that I would like to
have happen periodically. It's something that could be handled using
JavaScript's setInterval() function, but it appears that function is not
available in Synchronet's JS. I looked through the documentation (jsobjs.html)
for something related to timers or threads but didn't see an equivalent there.

I did see the queue class, which mentions that it's used for
inter-thread/module communications, but I didn't see any functions for running
something in a separate thread. The closest I could think of, looking at the
docs, is to use load() to load & execute another JS script in the background -
is there a better way to do it?
