Hmm, but it is exactly the design presented by Simon. The problem with it
is that the action fired upon a timer event is called from a protected
procedure.
This is IMO not what Maciej wanted, because as Simon has pointed out
protected procedures are very limited in what they allowed do and in how
they do it.
Another point is that even if that were the context of a task (which is
not), it still would be an unsatisfactory design, because simultaneously
triggered actions would block each other when overlapping.
