Yup; then the bodies would have to `(sit-for 0)' or something to let
the timers be run. So the thing would have to be implemented in the C

Anyway, RMS is positive to the idea, but he thinks it will be
difficult to implement. Can one use `setitimer' and friends and
stuff? Not that I have thought closely at how to implement this...
