arguments are passed straight through to the callback.
@returns {integer}
An ID that can later be used to undo this scheduling, if `callback` hasn't yet
been called.
@param callback {function}
Function to be called.
@param ms {integer}
Interval in milliseconds after which the function will be called.
</api>
<api name="clearTimeout">
@function
Given an ID returned from `setTimeout()`, prevents the callback with the ID
from being called (if it hasn't yet been called).
@param ID {integer}
An ID returned from `setTimeout()`.
</api>
<api name="setInterval">
@function
Schedules `callback` to be called repeatedly every `ms` milliseconds. Any
additional arguments are passed straight through to the callback.
@returns {integer}

@param callback {function}

@param ms {integer}
Interval in milliseconds at which the function will be called.
</api>
