I wonder why standard timers don't do something like that: run a function
after a long timeout (e.g. several minutes) but only if Emacs is idle for
a few seconds. This looks like an useful behavior.
What standard timers do now is a basic and useful behavior.
It would not be right to replace that with something more
complex which can be implemented on top of the existing behavior.
