Why run-with-timer is not mentioned in info?

Why run-with-timer is not mentioned in info?

[Tom]

Is there a reason for this? Is it not recommended or something?

I find it useful. I needed a timer which runs periodically, not 
when emacs is idle for a while, but repeating at a certain period
(like every minute).

run-with-timer does this, so why info doesn't metion it? It only
talks about specific time timers and idle timers.

Ah, just checked its implementation and I see it calls run-at-time.

It never occurred to me to read run-at-time docs for this, because
its name suggestes it to me it ran at a specific time, not periodically.

If you think that an index entry for `run-with-timer' would be helpful,
don't hesitate to ask for it: `M-x report-emacs-bug'.  (That's for
enhancement requests and suggestions too, not just bugs.)
