> Create a timer that runs FUNCTION when triggered.
> 
> If a THREAD is supplied, FUNCTION is run in that thread. If THREAD is
> T, a new thread is created for FUNCTION each time the timer is
> triggered. If THREAD is NIL, FUNCTION is run in an unspecified thread.
> 
> When THREAD is not T, INTERRUPT-THREAD is used to run FUNCTION and the
> ordering guarantees of INTERRUPT-THREAD apply. In that case, FUNCTION
> runs with interrupts disabled but WITH-INTERRUPTS is allowed.
