[Edbrowse-dev] clearTimeout

[Karl Dahlke]

We've had setTimeout and setInterval for a while,
but I didn't implement clearTimeout, well, because I didn't know it existed.
It's now there, and illustrated by
http://www.eklhad.net/async
It updates line 1 once a second, like a stock price or something,
type rr to rerender, but after 127 seconds the timer
deletes itself and time stops at 127.
The trick was having a timer delete itself while it is still running,
and not lose its brains.
