Cool, that's very similar to something I had in mind too...
We'd probably could include even the priority support (to be
glib-like) making timeouts that can happen "together" to be selected
also based on their priority...

However, for first version I think I'd just go with the "basic
wrapper", then I'd just could change it to use something like that.
