If they are independent of each other - then yes, probably only the one
which runs.

But line 643 says '(setq timer (funcall make-timer)))' - isn't it what
gets into continuation?  To be clear - I mean the timer which gets into
continuation (but if we re-defer deferred action - then yes, the
deferred action's timer is "inherited").

I'm just not familiar with cl-defun enough, sorry.  If '&rest args'
includes 'deferred' in 'args', then ok.

Thanks!
