Yes, getting the timer to work, canceling it when needed, etc... It's
fiddly. Especially when compared to the simplicity of
progress-reporter-update/progress-reporter-done.

They exist and are called progress-reporter-update and
progress-reporter-done respectively. They just need to be improved to
allow non-numerical non-nil updates.
