/* This test module exercises the timing module. One of the expected failure
   modes is for timers to never expire, which could lead to an infinite loop.
   The function timing_timer_simple is protected against this failure mode and
   checks that timers do expire. Other functions will terminate if their
   timers do expire. Therefore it is recommended to run timing_timer_simple
   first and run other test functions only if that timing_timer_simple
   succeeded. */
