    Manage a list of pending timers, schedule a signal for the next
    one (or, if you wish, launch a thread), etc. All that is pretty
    standard stuff that can be hidden in some library function, and
    you can even steal a lot of the code from the kernel :-)

    It would be useful, though, to have something like the
    "overwrite" function I described later in this thread, in case
    there is a single fd that can accumulate more timer expirations
    between reads, than fit into the pipe/queue. (Admittedly a bit
    of a fringe scenario.)
