// Web timers (setTimeout/setInterval) built directly on core.createTimer.
// Adds WHATWG-specific behavior on top:
// - webidl type coercion
// - string callback eval (WHATWG spec)
// - timer nesting depth tracking (WHATWG spec)
// - numeric timer IDs
// - AsyncContext propagation across the callback boundary
