Subject: Re: Should `cancel-timer' use `delete' instead of `delq'?
Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2006 04:49:32 -0400 [thread overview]

If you should happen to evaluate `run-with-idle-timer' more than once using
the same arguments, then a different timer (vector) would be created and run
for each evaluation. If you assigned the result of `run-with-idle-timer' to
a variable (setq or defvar), then passing that variable to `cancel-timer'
would cancel only the timer that was last created with those arguments to
`run-with-idle-timer' (and assigned to the variable).
I don't know - is that a feature or not?
It is the way Lisp works. If you want to remember more than one
object, and operate on them, you can keep them in a list.
