org-timer-set-timer from any buffer

Is it intentional that org-timer start, stop, and pause-or-continue all
work from any buffer, but org-timer-set-timer only works from an org buffer?

I bet $1 that this is unintentional.  If it was intentional this should
have been documented, I think.  Possibly you are the first noticing this
inconsistency.

I don't know if this is intentional.

Is there a problem here?  If so, how can we fix it?

Thanks,

Ian already addressed it with the patch at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2019-11/msg00166.html>,
which was applied as 044e9718c (org-timer.el: Allow org-timer-set-timer
from non-Org buffers, 2019-11-16).

Thanks!  I didn't read the whole thread as I should have, thanks for
applying this.

It happened in a separate thread, so there wasn't much hope for it to be
linked up.  I should have sent a message here for posterity when I
applied the patch.
