WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
This object represents a timer that will call a given member function
(the action function) repeatedly at regular intervals and in its own
thread.
Note that the delay_time() is measured in milliseconds but you are not
guaranteed to have that level of resolution. The actual resolution
is implementation dependent.
THREAD SAFETY
All methods of this class are thread safe.
