* `handler`: The task to be called back

returns: Result<[`Timer`], [`TimerError`]>

# Examples


## Single-shot timer


```rust
# use std::thread;

# use std::time::Duration;

use native_timer::TimerQueue;

let my_queue = TimerQueue::new();
let mut called = 0;
let timer = my_queue.schedule_timer(Duration::from_millis(400), Duration::ZERO,
                                    None, || called += 1).unwrap();
thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
drop(timer);
assert_eq!(called, 1);

```

## Periodical timer


```rust
# use std::thread;

# use std::time::Duration;

use native_timer::TimerQueue;

let my_queue = TimerQueue::new();
let mut called = 0;
let duration = Duration::from_millis(300);
let t = my_queue.schedule_timer(duration, duration, None, || called += 1).unwrap();
thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
drop(t);
assert_eq!(called, 3);
```
