// We maintain two queues of timers; one for timers that sleep for a duration
// and one that that sleeps until a certain point in time. This lets us deal
// nicely with non-monotonic clocks and simplifies the code. The absolute timers
// queue is simply sorted after their wake-up time, while the delay timers queue
// is sorted after their delays, where each node stores the delay between it and
// its previous node (if any, otherwise just the actual time left of the timer).
// This data structure allows constant time detection of whether a timer should
// be fired and the double-linked queue allow constant-time cancellation - this
// is at the expense of linear time insertion, but it is kinda okay since timers
// that are soon will always be at the start (and hence quick to insert), while
// timers in the far future will be last and the calling thread probably
// wouldn't mind a little delay.

//       timers are attached to this clock, then inserting a timer becomes
