 *
 *  Directives provided are:
 *
 *     + create a timer
 *     + get an ID of a timer
 *     + delete a timer
 *     + set timer to fire in context of clock tick 
 *        - after a number of ticks have passed
 *        - when a specified date and time has been reached
 *     + initiate the timer server task
 *     + set timer to fire in context of the timer server task
 *        - after a number of ticks have passed
 *        - when a specified date and time has been reached
 *     + reset a timer
 *     + cancel a time
