This is a library, with an API inspired by [timer.rs](https://github.com/Yoric/timer.rs), for scheduling jobs that run synchronously on a background thread.

Example:

```rust
use std::time::Duration;
use synchronous_timer::Timer;

fn main() {
    let mut timer = Timer::new();
    timer
        .schedule_in(Duration::from_secs(5), || {
            println!("I will run on the background thread in 5 seconds")
        })
        .detach();
    timer.schedule_immediately(|| println!("I will run on the background thread right now"));
    let handle = timer.schedule_in(Duration::from_secs(1), || println!("I will never run"));
    drop(handle);
    std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(6));
}
