# = Description
#
# A way of performing a potentially long-running operation in a thread, and terminating
# it's execution if it hasn't finished by a fixed amount of time.
#
# Previous versions of timeout didn't provide use a module for namespace. This version
# provides both Timeout.timeout, and a backwards-compatible #timeout.

  # Executes the method's block.  If the block execution terminates before
  # +sec+ seconds has passed, it returns the result value of the block.
  # If not, it terminates the execution and raises +exception+ (which defaults
  # to Timeout::Error).
  #
  # Note that this is both a method of module Timeout, so you can 'include Timeout'
  # into your classes so they have a #timeout method, as well as a module method,
  # so you can call it directly as Timeout.timeout().
