+module Concurrent
+
+  # A very common currency pattern is to run a thread that performs a task at regular
+  # intervals. The thread that performs the task sleeps for the given interval then
+  # wakes up and performs the task. Lather, rinse, repeat... This pattern causes two
+  # problems. First, it is difficult to test the business logic of the task because the
+  # task itself is tightly coupled with the concurrency logic. Second, an exception in
+  # raised while performing the task can cause the entire thread to abend. In a
+  # long-running application where the task thread is intended to run for days/weeks/years
+  # a crashed task thread can pose a significant problem. `TimerTask` alleviates both problems.
+  # 
+  # When a `TimerTask` is launched it starts a thread for monitoring the execution interval.
+  # The `TimerTask` thread does not perform the task, however. Instead, the TimerTask
+  # launches the task on a separate thread. Should the task experience an unrecoverable
+  # crash only the task thread will crash. This makes the `TimerTask` very fault tolerant
+  # Additionally, the `TimerTask` thread can respond to the success or failure of the task,
+  # performing logging or ancillary operations. `TimerTask` can also be configured with a
+  # timeout value allowing it to kill a task that runs too long.
+  # 
+  # One other advantage of `TimerTask` is it forces the business logic to be completely decoupled
+  # from the concurrency logic. The business logic can be tested separately then passed to the
+  # `TimerTask` for scheduling and running.
+  # 
+  # In some cases it may be necessary for a `TimerTask` to affect its own execution cycle.
+  # To facilitate this a reference to the task object is passed into the block as a block
+  # argument every time the task is executed.
+  # 
+  # The `TimerTask` class includes the `Dereferenceable` mixin module so the result of
+  # the last execution is always available via the `#value` method. Derefencing options
+  # can be passed to the `TimerTask` during construction or at any later time using the
+  # `#set_deref_options` method.
+  # 
+  # `TimerTask` supports notification through the Ruby standard library
+  # {http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0/libdoc/observer/rdoc/Observable.html Observable}
+  # module. On execution the `TimerTask` will notify the observers
+  # with threes arguments: time of execution, the result of the block (or nil on failure),
+  # and any raised exceptions (or nil on success). If the timeout interval is exceeded
+  # the observer will receive a `Concurrent::TimeoutError` object as the third argument.
+  #
+  # @example Basic usage
+  #   task = Concurrent::TimerTask.new{ puts 'Boom!' }
+  #   task.run!
+  #   
+  #   task.execution_interval #=> 60 (default)
+  #   task.timeout_interval   #=> 30 (default)
+  #   
+  #   # wait 60 seconds...
+  #   #=> 'Boom!'
+  #   
+  #   task.stop #=> true
+  #
+  # @example Configuring `:execution_interval` and `:timeout_interval`
+  #   task = Concurrent::TimerTask.new(execution_interval: 5, timeout_interval: 5) do
+  #          puts 'Boom!'
+  #        end
+  #   
+  #   task.execution_interval #=> 5
+  #   task.timeout_interval   #=> 5
+  #
+  # @example Immediate execution with `:run_now`
+  #   task = Concurrent::TimerTask.new(run_now: true){ puts 'Boom!' }
+  #   task.run!
+  #   
+  #   #=> 'Boom!'
+  #
+  # @example Last `#value` and `Dereferenceable` mixin
+  #   task = Concurrent::TimerTask.new(
+  #     dup_on_deref: true,
+  #     execution_interval: 5
+  #   ){ Time.now }
+  #   
+  #   task.run!
+  #   Time.now   #=> 2013-11-07 18:06:50 -0500
+  #   sleep(10)
+  #   task.value #=> 2013-11-07 18:06:55 -0500
+  #
+  # @example Controlling execution from within the block
+  #   timer_task = Concurrent::TimerTask.new(execution_interval: 1) do |task|
+  #     task.execution_interval.times{ print 'Boom! ' }
+  #     print "\n"
+  #     task.execution_interval += 1
+  #     if task.execution_interval > 5
+  #       puts 'Stopping...'
+  #       task.stop
+  #     end
+  #   end
+  #   
+  #   timer_task.run # blocking call - this task will stop itself
+  #   #=> Boom!
+  #   #=> Boom! Boom!
