--- Timer objects. This type of object is useful when triggering events repeatedly.
-- The timer will emit the "timeout" signal every N seconds, N being the timeout
-- value.
-- @tfield number timeout Interval in seconds to emit the timeout signal.
--                        Can be any value, including floating point ones
--                        (e.g. 1.5 seconds).
-- @tfield boolean started Read-only boolean field indicating if the timer has been
--                         started.
-- @table timer
