timers

[Richard Stallman]

Please drop the discussion of defvar and timers.
It is a distraction and interferes with the work
we need to do to make a release.

Drew, if you would like to do something that will help us make a good
release, how about doing the task I suggested: looking at the places
that call (get last-command ...) or (get this-command ...)  to see if
any of them is a real bug?
