/**
 * \ingroup timer
 * \brief A very simple watchdog operating in virtual time.
 *
 * The watchdog timer is started by calling Ping with a delay value.
 * Once started the timer cannot be suspended, cancelled or shortened.
 * It _can_ be lengthened (delayed) by calling Ping again:  if the new
 * expire time (current simulation time plus the new delay)
 * is greater than the old expire time the timer will be extended
 * to the new expire time.
 *
 * Typical usage would be to periodically Ping the Watchdog, extending
 * it's execution time.  If the owning process fails to Ping before
 * the Watchdog expires, the registered function will be invoked.
 *
 * If you don't ping the watchdog sufficiently often, it triggers its
 * listening function.
 *
 * \see Timer for a more sophisticated general purpose timer.
