[parenscript-devel] with-timeout

[Vladimir Sedach]

Good point. On the one hand, do-after-delay is the logical name for
it. On the other, I think the name of the Javascript function should
be preserved somehow since that way there will be less cognitive
dissonance, and there would be one less barrier to entry for new
users. How does do-set-timeout sound?

I have to run soon, so I'll add ignore-errors sometime tomorrow.

Thanks,
Vladimir
